Dubspot LA Edu Sessions:

Algorithmic Composition for Drums

Featuring:

Computo

Friday, March 13th, 2015

4:00pm – 6:00pm PST

Dubspot LA Room 1

This workshop will explore advanced methods for drum programming using current software (Kontakt, Maschine, Reaktor, Ableton) to compose complex rhythms and variations with interesting sounds. These methods de-emphasize note-specific editing, instead focusing on creating systems of signal routing to achieve a unique, semi-predictable performance. Much as writers and composers of Jazz, Rock, and other genres have counted on musicians to contribute to the composition process; producers of computer music can use algorithmic composition techniques to fill this same roll.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Space is limited, please arrive early to sign in.
