explore digital sound production, guided by the masters

June 27th, 28th, 29th 2007

10am - 4pm 

St Martins College, Lancaster
 
This year's Summer School of Sound will be led by
internationally-acclaimed sound artist collective goto10
<http://goto10.org/> . 

Marloes de Valk and Aymeric Mansoux will lead a three-day course,
exploring free open-source software available for home-studio purposes,
such as audio and midi sequencers, sound editors and virtual
effect-racks, as well as the creative possibilities of Icecast,
puredata and audio streaming in an audio-workstation setup.  The school
will be using the pure:dyne Linux distro as the working platform.
Pure:dyne is a derivative of the dyne:bolic multimedia distro,
specifically tuned for the low latency requirments of audio work.

The Summer School of Sound will also include an evening performance on
Thursday 28 June by goto10 artists de Valk and Mansoux, as well as Dave
Griffiths and Chun Lee.

This three-day accredited summer school is aimed at musicians,
designers, artists and those with an interest in multimedia
technologies who want to explore how new digital technologies can help
and inspire us when working with music and sound.

Participants do not need a high level of technological or programming
skills, although these would be beneficial. A strong interest in one or
more of the following areas is essential: sound art, music, technology,
open source software.


Booking fees and deadline:

Organisational rate: £250 

Individual rate: £150


Places are limited: to apply please email Jennifer Stoddart, Programme
Co-ordinator at jennifer.stoddart at folly.co.uk with brief details of
your background, interest and experience in the areas listed above, and
an indication of your level of computer literacy.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 31 May 2007. Applicants
will be informed after this date if their application has been
successful.

Please note: to apply for a place, you need to be able to attend all 3
days of the Summer School. This is an intensive course, but it will be
fun, and you'll benefit from some of the leading and most inspiring
artists in their field!
