1.Session with Dennis de Bel

Meergranen module - all required parts

Meergranen module - all parts
soldered together

Meergranen module with custom
lasercut frontpanel

Intro into modular synthesis: (exists in both, analogue and digital form)
Several modules, that are not hardwired totgether.
Each module does (not allways) one task only - but does that very good.
In-, outputs allow to interface several modules.
Soldering / testing of the "Meergranen" module.
Flashing different presets with onto the Arduino
Designing and lasercutting the first custom frontpanel

Custom sample selection (to be continued):

Dennis playing around with
a modular synthesizer setup

Modular synthesizer setup

Listening sessions with the purpose of learning how to talk about sound
Hunting interesting sounds and writing a description of them
Inventing a new word to describe the sound: "knüsprichtlic" (engl.: "crunchdenseyficial")
learning musical vocabulary (pitch, frequency, timbre, overtone, metrics,...)
Exercise: sorting given abstract soundfiles into categories and naming them

Pile of objects that we brought
to the workshop to make music with

My improvised "instrument" and
notation for a performance

Recording of performances

Choose objects and create sounds that match the categories created yesterday
Create a composition / performance and write down notation
Perform while being recorded
Jam in groups while being recorded
Talking about language (Phoneme, toneme, chroneme -> see interesting links)
Speech to song instrument: recording speech - looping a part of it and listening to the melody
Add recording from earlier and make a quick song
Course feedback

Several Meergranen
modules connected
