Sunday Synthesis Study Sessions (S^4)

Sundays in February (4th, 11th, 18th, 25th), 1pm-3pm

Presented by Dan Derks

Sunday Synthesis Study Sessions (S^4) offer periods of guided exploration and play, rooted in the world of sound design and electronic music production. Each session begins with a short presentation of a synthesis technique using both hardware and software. From there, an experienced guide will be present to help participants continue plumbing, extend into their preferred environments / toolkits, or simply use the presentation as a conceptual springboard.

Participants should bring personal headphones and a small toolkit of their own gear to explore -- either a piece of hardware, a laptop, or tablet. Each session's presentation will use free software, like VCV Rack and SuperCollider. We will also have a small hardware modular synth available for hands-on play.

All skill and experience levels are welcome to join! These sessions will feel like a natural extension of our past courses (Basic and Intermediate Synthesis) and monthly sound gatherings.

$100
