DAMA 34
Modular Sound Synthesis workshop
Modular Sound Synthesis workshop
March 25-28
Estonian Academy of Arts
Electronically generated sounds surround us daily: from sound effects in movies and games, to synthesizer parts and electronic rhythms in music. The Modular Sound Synthesis workshop offers an intense dive into the core methods of the very creation and generation, the operational nature, of such electronic sounds. Students will learn what basic parts a synthesizer is comprised of, how they interact, and the basic synthesis techniques, on which many other, more complicated setups, are based.
During the workshop, students will get familiarized with the core concepts of electronic sound synthesis using a hardware modular synthesizer.
Each day will include a hybrid lecture+practice session, touching on the basic ideas of synthesis like the nature of electronic sound, oscillations, filtering, creation of musical events and movements, and such.
