Summer Workshop @ CCRMA
Physical Interaction Design for Music
June 26 - July 6, 2007
Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/2007
info at ccrma.stanford.edu


This workshop integrates programming, electronics, interaction design, 
audio, and interactive music. Focus will be on hands-on applications 
using sensors and microprocessors in conjunction with real-time DSP 
to make music. Specific technologies will include C programming for 
Atmel AVR microcontrollers, PD and/or Max/MSP for music synthesis, 
and sensors including force-sensitive resistors, bend sensors, 
accelerometers, IR range finders, etc.  Participants will design 
and build working musical instruments using a kit that can be taken 
home at the end of the workshop. Further issues to be explored will 
include modes and mappings in computer music, exercises in invention, 
and applications of sensors and electronics to real-time music. The 
course will be augmented by a survey of existing controllers and pieces 
of interactive music.

 This workshop is intended for:

    * Musicians or composers interested in exploring new possibilities 
      in interactive music in a hands on and technical way; 
    * Students looking to gain valuable skills in basic analog and digital 
      electronics, with a focus on invention; 
    * Engineers, computer scientists, or product designers interested in 
      exploring artistic outlets for their talents and collaborating 
      with performers and composers.

The workshop will consist of half-day supervised lab sessions, and 
half-day lectures, classroom exercises and discussions. Classroom 
sessions will feature live demos and/or concerts of interactive music 
and instruments. Participants are encouraged (but by no means required) 
to bring their own laptop computers with any music software/hardware 
they already use.

The workshop will be held on the Stanford campus at CCRMA in the historic
Knoll building from June 26th - July 6th, 2007 (including July 4th).  Please
see the link above for registration details.

Instructors: Michael Gurevich and Carr Wilkerson

There will be an additional workshop in Singapore, September 3-14, 2007.
