FluCoMa Workshop: Introduction to FluCoMa

The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMa) enables techno-fluent musicians to integrate machine listening in their creative practice.

Hunt Library:  iDeate Studio A

The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMa) enables techno-fluent musicians to integrate machine listening and machine learning in their creative practice within Max, SuperCollider, and Pure Data. In this workshop we’ll look at using neural networks to control synthesizers with a large number of parameters, programmatically analyzing and organizing large collections of sound samples to be explored visually or accessed programmatically, and intelligently decomposing audio files into component parts using tools such as harmonic-percussive source separation and non-negative matrix factorization. The workshop will be hands-on, we’ll explain concepts while coding tools together that participants can modify and expand towards their own artistic goals. Participants are expected to bring their laptop with the latest version of the toolkit installed. Download the toolkit, converse with other users, learn more, and get in touch with us at https://www.flucoma.org.Day 1 of the workshop will take place from 2-4PM on April 2nd in iDeate Studio A, Hunt Library and is for everyone with beginner to immediate level knowledge of a music programming environment.Day 2 of the workshop will take place from 1-3PM on April 3rd. A second session for intermediate level users only will take place from 4-6PM on April 3rd.Teaser Videos can be found at:http://permashare.jb.imap.cc/Decomp-1.mp4 Video 1 http://permashare.jb.imap.cc/Decomp-2.mp4 Video 2 Facilitators:Prof. Pierre Alexandre Tremblay is a composer and an improviser on bass guitar and sound processing devices, in solo and within various ensembles. He is a member of the London-based collective Loop, and his music is also released on Empreintes DIGITALes and Ora. He formally studied composition with Michel Tétreault, Marcelle Deschênes, and Jonty Harrison, bass guitar with Jean-Guy Larin, Sylvain Bolduc, and Michel Donato, analysis with Michel Longtin and Stéphane Roy, studio technique with Francis Dhomont, Robert Normandeau, and Jean Piché. Pierre Alexandre is Professor in Composition and Improvisation at the University of Huddersfield (UK). He previously worked in popular music as producer and bassist, and has a keen interest for creative coding. He enjoys spending time with his family, drinking oolong tea, gazing at dictionaries, reading prose, and taking long walks. As a founding member of the no-tv collective, he does not own a working television set.www.pierrealexandretremblay.comTed Moore is a composer, improviser, intermedia artist, and educator. He holds a PhD in Music Composition from the University of Chicago and is currently serving as a Research Fellow in Creative Coding at the University of Huddersfield, investigating the creative affordances of machine learning and data science algorithms as part of the FluCoMa project. His work focuses on fusing the sonic, visual, physical, and acoustic aspects of performance and sound, often through the integration of technology. Ted’s work has been described as “frankly unsafe” (icareifyoulisten.com), “an impressive achievement both artistically and technically” (VitaMN), and “epic” (Pioneer Press). Ted frequently performs on electronics using his laptop, modular synthesizer systems, resonant physical objects, lighting instruments, and video projection. As an improviser, Ted is one half of Binary Canary, a woodwinds-laptop improvisation duo alongside saxophonist Kyle Hutchins. Ted&#x27;s work can be heard on New Focus Recordings, Sideband Records, Carrier Records, and Ravello Records. Visit him at: https://www.tedmooremusic.com/
