PD Workshop finished

The very interesting and well received PD introduction workshop ended. With plans for a follow up next season, and maybe sooner, a PD meeting every month, to zoom in on the specific needs of the users, working with various hardware and pd. You can let us know if you are interested in any way in learning PD. Do see Katja's website for info too! (http://www.katjaas.nl)

Computer Controlled Voltage - Workshop over hoe je je (modulaire) analoge synthesizer kan besturen met je computer.

Heb je oude analoge synthesizers en ben je geinteresseerd in het gebruiken van die synths in je muziek? Wil je een analoge synth integreren in je digitale studio set-up?
Oude analoge synths werken met CV en gate of trigger, hebben meestal geen MIDI en kunnen daarom maar moeilijk worden geintergreerd in een digitale studio set-up.  Maar dat is nou net wat je wilt; je oude synth controleren met je computer en combineren met harddisk recording en samples. Deze workshop gaat over het gebruik van synthesizers die geen midi hebben, in combinatie met een computer (die bv Ableton-Live draait).

De workshop bestaat uit 4 delen van ieder ongeveer 2 uur op 9, 16, 23 en 30 maart;

Pure Data

The PD Workshop by Katja Vetter is well under way, and attrackted some 15 people, and rightly so, not only is pure date fascinating stuff, katja is very much specialised in this field, so the workshop knows a thorough theoretical and a very hands on approach.

The Benjolin Workshop 26 February 2011

The Benjolin is a ‘noise box’ that is ‘bent by design’, meaning that it always has a definite amount of unpredictability, while it is still intuitive to play.
In a one-day workshop, conducted by the buddies in electronic madness, Rob Hordijk and Joker Nies, participants will build a analogue sound-device, that is very different from what you usually will find with other DIY-kits.
The kit will ONLY be available through attending the workshop, it is not sold separately. The Benjolin DIY-kit will be easy enough to build even for a beginner in electronics. After successfully building the instrument, which is guaranteed with the help of Rob and Joker, the workshop participants will take home a versatile and very unique analogue synthesizer that can can influence the behaviour of other voltage-controlled modules through seven different control-voltages. It is also able to receive control-voltages for filter-frequency and both of it‘s oscillators.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OFF THIS VERY NICE WORKSHOP, HELD AT WORM VOC BUILDING. PICTURES BY JOKER NIES!

KKNULL 28 FEB 2011

The awesome KKNULL was on tour with DAVE BROWN AND SHAUN BAXTER- aka TERMINAL HZ , in the neighbourhood, and with a few days to spare, to record some material in our studio.
Here's some picts, audiomaterial will follow soon.

working on the livecast setup

since our venue is in a state of in between new building and old being stripped, i moved the livecast camera installation to the studio for a temporary setup, allowing us to keep developing and testing some features related to camera control and remote control - using PD for control over ip we can practically stay at home livecasting our shows.

here you see the temporal set up and 2 very bright people in the field of code and useful applications development. (marko and dennis are for hire!)

making music at WORM

Part two of our workshop for kids is underway. About thirty kids participate each time and listen to an artist (a mini concert and a story on his music) and make a track in our analogue studio with the aide of Radboud Mens. The artist this week is MachineFabriek.
This project is a cooperation with SKVR.
Here's a little clipc catching the studio atmosphere

Mousepad Album Release

Here's a release by ben butler and mousepad recorded in the WORM studio last year.

"Recorded during a residency at Worm / CEM Studios, Rotterdam, over the course of a week in June 2010, using Worm's all analogue equipment and mixing desk.
Almost everything was recorded live in the studio, with minimal edits and no programming"
