Openlab, the London-based open source art and technology collective, presents an on-going series of in-depth workshops exploring creating and hacking media using free software and tools. Workshops will include both beginner and advanced instruction in such software as PureData, Processing, and SuperCollider, as well as using the microcontroller Arduino, Android programming, general sound hardware hacking, and more. For less than the cost of the cinema, you can gain some valuable skills using free software!

1) Using Pure:dyne - A Free Audio and Video Toolkit with
Rob Canning and Claude Heiland-Allen - 10 pounds
Rob and Claude introduce you to Pure:dyne, an operating system designed for media artists, providing a complete set of tools for realtime audio and video processing. Pure:dyne is a live distribution, you don’t need to install anything. Simply boot your computer using the live CD or USB stick and you’re ready to start using software such as Pure Data, Supercollider, Icecast, Csound, Fluxus, Processing, Arduino and much much more.
2) Introduction to SuperCollider with DanStowell - 10 pounds
Dan will continue his popular introductory workshop for SuperCollider, building on the basics to create reusable synths and use them in musical patterns, including pre-defined patterns and generative music. Depending on time and interest we may also look at other topics such as handling audio files.
You’ll need a laptop with SuperCollider 3.3 or 3.3.1 installed (download).
