THE NEW PULSAR GENERATOR (nuPG) WORKSHOP
The WORKSHOP FOCUSES ON SOUND SYNTHESIS AND COMPOSITION WITH THE NEW
PULSAR GENERATOR (nuPG) program designed by Marcin Pietruszewski in
SuperCollider 3 programming language. The session will open with a
brief introduction to fundamental concepts of PULSAR SYNTHESIS, its
theoretical and historical background, as well as links to other
fields of research such as speech synthesis and data sonification. The
main part of the WORKSHOP WILL BE DEVOTED TO COMPOSITIONAL WORK WITH
THE NUPG PROGRAM - through an exploration of its various elements and
extensions, Graphic User Interface and live-coding control approaches,
participants will have a chance to experiment with their own ideas and
to draw experimental micro pieces. The standalone version of the nuPG
program runs on macOS only. Bring your laptops and headphones.
NOTE: _All participants will receive the nuPG program and
documentation. A download link will be emailed a week prior to the
workshop._
INSTRUCTOR
Marcin Pietruszewski (born 1984) a composer and researcher. He is
engaged in sound synthesis and composition with computers, exploring
specific formal developments in the tradition of electroacoustic music
and contemporary sound art, as well as extra-musical domains of
auditory design, computational linguistics and psychoacoustics. He
works across performance, multimedia installation and radio
productions. Recurring interests include synthetic sound, algorithmic
systems and an integration of text and voice as compositional
materials.
He has collaborated extensively with musicians and composers - e.g.,
Marcus Schmickler (performed and recorded Schmickler's Demos for
choir, chamber quintet and electronics), Tristan Clutterbuck
(fancyyyyy), Jules Rawlinson (modular synthesiser and laptop duo),
Lauren Sarah Hayes and Florian Hecker. Works exhibited at Remote
Viewing (Philadelphia, 2019), Institute of Contemporary Arts (London,
2017) and CTM/Transmediale (Berlin, 2016). Commissions by ICST Zurich
(2020), ZKM Karlsruhe (2018) and Deutschlandradio Kultur (2016).
He is an Associated Lecturer of Creative Music Practice at the Reid
School of Music at Edinburgh University and writer focused on
histories of computer music, its aesthetic and technology.
