INTERACTIVE SOUND WORKSHOP 15th- 18th of June 2010 (Hamburg, Germany)
Interactive Sound Workshop is an opportunity for anyone to learn how to process and organize sound using Pure Data and Arduino, open source enviroments used by artists and musicians working and experimenting with interactivity, sound, graphics, video and beyond.
It is aimed for local artists / people interested in sound. Previous experience of Pure Data or Arduino is not required, laptop is preferred.
Content of the Interactive Sound Workshop:

- Basics in Pure Data sound synthesis
- Introducing Arduino, a simple open hardware design and a standard programming language
- Introducing basic sensors and how to connect them into Arduino
- Pure Data and Arduino communication and integration
- Creating simple prototypes of interactive sound applications
Examples of works that have been done with

Wednesday the 16th of June in Hörbar:
A lecture and a concert by Juhani Räisänen, who has created a new musical instrument, called Sormina. The instrument uses sensors and wireless technology to play music. Its design is guided by traditional instrument building.
There willl be possibilities for the audience to try out the instrument after the lecture and concert.
The aim of Juhani Räisänen's project is to gain knowledge about instruments and their impact in the western classical music. His point is that the material quality of acoustical instruments has had a major effect in the development of music. The concept of tone quality is historically parallel to the availability of raw material suitable for instruments.
The same evening a release of a new CD collection of Sound Art produced by the Artists' Association Muu in Finland. The CD, Muu For Ears 3, is the third part of a serie of Sound Art publications. The focus of the new CD is on the European Sound scene. www.muu.fi/sound
In the lobby of Hörbar a showcase of sound installations from a Interactive Sound Workshop in Helsinki. Results of the workshop can be viewed at Muu's facebook address at: Redirecting...
