[chuck-users] WORKSHOP: Introduction to the ChucK Music Programming Language, January 13th

[Noah Thorp]

I'll look into it. Eventually, I would like to have dual screen recording
for presenter and presentation. It seems possible that we may be able to
record a single camera version. I'll check in with Ge.

Best,
Noah

>> WORKSHOP SCHEDULE:
>>
>> Presentation: What is ChucK?
>> * uses of ChucK (real-time synthesis/analysis, composition/
>> performance,
>> experimentation/education, laptop orchestras)
>> * "strongly-timed": precise control over time
>> * what is concurrent programming and using it for music
>> * on-the-fly programming (write/edit code at runtime)
>>
>> workshop: part 1 (language basics)
>> * syntax and semantics
>>    - overview
>>    - types, values, variables
>>    - operators
>>    - control structures
>> * real-time sound synthesis
>> * unit generators
>> * manipulating time to make timbres and music
>> * functions, arrays (modularizing and organizing)
>> * concurrency, processes, shreds, events (powerful music programming)
>> * basic on-the-fly programming with ChucK
>>
>> workshop: part 2 (extended examples)
>> * extended examples
>>    - mapping controllers via MIDI and OpenSoundControl (OSC)
>>    - creating instruments using laptop capabilities
>>      (keyboard, trackpad, sudden motion sensor, mic)
>>    - network synchronization
>>    - gui control with the audicle/miniAudicle
