Moogfest 2017

The workshop will provide an introduction in the use of the affordable, off-the-shelf hardware (Raspberry Pi), and free and open-source software (Pd-L2Ork) to design real-time musical devices, instruments, and effects processors and link them to various sensors and actuators.

Of notable interest will be quantified self (a.k.a. consciousness hacking http://ico.bukvic.net/main/quantified-self) scenarios that are increasingly used to monitor our own performance and well being, including using dynamically generated music to foster mindfulness. No prior experience with either hardware or software programming is required.

This session will take place in a site-specific hexaphonic audio environment designed and installed by engineers from Virginia Tech ICAT.
