Event Details

1 Session, 3 hours, with personalized post-session project with instructor via email.

Csound is the most powerful computer music language in the world, with a direct lineage to Max Mathews' original Music-N languages. The focus of this class will be a synthesis of three topics: The Csound language, synthesizer theory, and composing weird alien music.


Together, we will demystify the assembly-like syntax of the Csound language. We will cover the fundamentals of synthesizer theory, including: oscillators, filters, envelopes, amplifiers and modulation. Finally, we'll tie it all together by composing sounds in the vein of classic Sci-Fi movies.

Beyond the session, each attendee will have the option of working on a personalized project with the instructor via email.

Please bring a laptop with a working copy of Csound. download Csound here
