Music Hackspace - new home and programme March-Dec 2017
Music Hackspace are pleased to announce a new venue and programme for 2017
<http://musichackspace.org/whatson/>. The programme kicks off in mid march, and
will be held at our new central London location of Somerset House Studios.
<https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/music-hackspace-2017-programme>
We’ll be picking up where we left off, continuing to offer workshops, a new
series of artist talks, software sessions and one off events.
Music Hackspace is a platform for experimenting and interacting with sound and
technology. We incorporate diverse methodologies and aim to create an open
playground and exchange of ideas and sounds that embraces new and old
technologies. Newly available open source platforms, both hardware and
software, are granting far wider accessibility to new interactions with music
and audio than has not been possible before. It’s with these technologies that
we base our programme of workshops, artist talks and meetups, and hope to
encourage people of all backgrounds to create and engage with music in
previously unrealised ways.
Over the first few months of the programme we’ll be exploring numerous
intersections between music and technology, covering algorithmic music with
TidalCycles, SuperCollider and C++, modular synthesis in the Eurorack format
and hacking brain wave data.
SOMERSET HOUSE STUDIOS
<https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/music-hackspace-2017-programme>
We’re incredibly excited to start this new programme at Somerset House Studios,
a new experimental workspace that intends to promote collaboration between
artists, makers and their audiences. We’re looking forward to collaborate with
the existing artist community working at the studios. We hope the new venue and
its central London location will encourage people from all over London to
attend.
WORKSHOPS
<http://musichackspace.org/whatson?from=2017-03-13&category=workshops&count=15&page=1&order=asc>
Our new programme, which runs from March until December, features a broader
range of workshops than we’ve had the chance to run before. This will of course
include modular synth workshops, but will also include workshops on standalone
synths, algorithmic music and basic principles of synthesis and electronics.

ARTIST TALKS

We will also be returning to our regular artist talk series with a new and
diverse programme of speakers. These talks provide an open ended platform for
artists to talk about and demo their techniques and approaches, with an
opportunity for Q&A from the audience. This series will begin with an evening
of talks and demos from Look Mum No Computer and Antònia Folguera (Sónar+D) on
March 27th, followed by Paul Prudence on April 24th.

SOFTWARE SESSIONS
<http://musichackspace.org/whatson?from=2017-03-13&category=software-classes&count=15&page=1&order=asc>
We had a great response to our software sessions last year, and we’re very
pleased to be bringing them back as part of our 2017 programme. These monthly
events will see us bring in people who are working closely with software
including TidalCycles, Max MSP and Pure Data to lead classes, discussions and
meetups. We aim for these sessions to be accessible and helpful for both
beginners and advanced users of these platforms. Our first software session of
2017 will be on using the TidalCycles code environment with Calum Gunn.
April 5th: TidalCycles meetup with Calum Gunn
