We started these workshops in 1986 so this will be our eighth year. Most of our students have been of high school age, but we welcome people from other colleges. We also invite teachers and other professionals. These workshops are for anyone who wants to enrich their understanding of new music media. Daily lectures and demonstrations will introduce you to each topic. Supervised laboratories will guide you through hands-on experience with new technology. Listening and discussion sessions will expand your familiarity with the literature of electronic music. We will give special attention to the esthetic issues raised by this new way of making music. The workshops are progressive and focused on original composition. The program provides continuity with minimal overlap or repetition in the two weeks. Former students have benefited most by attending both weeks. If you enroll for only one week it must be the first week. In the second workshop we build on the skills you acquire in the first. The workshops are Macintosh based and the topics we cover include: sequencing (Performer, Vision) music printing (Finale) synthesizer programming (Galaxy) sampling (AudioMedia, Alchemy, SoftSynth, TurboSynth) alternate MIDI controllers algorithmic composition (M, MAX) If you want a more detailed description via email, send a message to: fnelson@oberlin.edu If you want a brochure and registration forms, include your snail mail address or write directly to the address below.
