[microsound] workshop and concert in Lisbon

[Kim Cascone <kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Workshop  > Sonic Process > Kim Cascone
"Emergent Content Creation Using Simple Genetic Algorithms"

15th to  17th Nov,  2004 at Espaço Atmosferas in Lisbon

 A workshop. A process. A working model for open source material. The 
creation of an experimental emergent sonic piece.

In this workshop each participant acts as an active node in a creative 
network. Using software you normally use we will embark on an 
experiment to breed a piece of audio art. We will evolve a sound piece 
starting with a library of sound files provided by the .microsound list 
and then will mutate and cross-breed them until a work of sonic art 
emerges. The final piece will then be performed for the public by the 
group at the end of the workshop.

Kim Cascone is a central figure in the development of electronic music. 
Collaborated with David Lynch and Staccato Systems as a Sound Designer. 
As an author, he has over 30 editions and collaborated with names such 
as Merzbow, Scanner, Keith Rowe, Tony Conrad. Has published articles in 
Computer Music Journal (MIT Press), Parachute Journal and is the 
founder of the microsound.org list.
