The School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University is pleased
to announce
a Computer Music Workshop, to be held June 1-7, 2008 at
Carnegie Mellon
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Computer Music Workshop
offers
musicians, composers, educators, and students practical
experience
learning about Sound Synthesis and Algorithmic Composition
using Nyquist
and Audacity software. Nyquist is an advanced sound and
music
programming environment, and Audacity is a powerful,
extensible audio
editor. Hands-on, interactive sessions will ensure
individual attention
and plenty of time for learning and discussion. A
certificate will be
given to all students who complete the workshop.
Students will learn:
- basic concepts of digital audio and sound synthesis,
- how to create instruments and effects in Nyquist,
- how to customize Audacity with new plugins, and
- algorithmic composition concepts using Nyquist.
(Instructors will be prepared to address special topics of
interest, so
please let us know, and we will try to accommodate your
requests.)
Who should attend? Anyone with a passion for music and
familiarity with
computers, e.g. comfortable using an editor, email, and
working with
files, is encouraged to register. Those with more advanced
programming
and/or music synthesis experience are also welcome and will
have the
opportunity to learn about advanced concepts in Nyquist
directly from
its creator. We expect a mixed group of composers,
performers,
scientists, engineers, and especially those who do not fit
neatly into
categories!
Workshop presenters include:
- Dr. Roger B. Dannenberg, designer of the Nyquist
system and
co-designer of the Audacity audio editor (and trumpet
player),
- Dr. Richard M. Stern, specializing in signal
processing,
psychoacoustics (and harpsichordist),
- Dr. Tom Cortina, computer scientist, educator, and
computer
music programmer,
- Dr. Noel Zahler, computer music researcher,
composer,
guitarist, and School of Music Head.
The cost is $675 covering the workshop and some group
activities.
Housing is available but not included. For additional
information,

registration
discount!) see http://music.web.cmu.ed
