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):

2.Session with Olli Aarni at De Player

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

Everybody brings in 3-4 random objects that one can make sound with
Choose objects and experiment with making:

..the most quite sound possible
..the longest sound possible
..shortest sound possible
..a sound that involves a change in pitch
..a sound that involves a change in timbre

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

Field trip to Dutch Modular Fest

3.Session with Dennis de Bel

Talking about possibilities and limitations of Arduino
Introduction to Arduino coding
Playing around with the Meergranen
Connecting several Meergranen modules and modulating them with oneanother

Several Meergranen modules connected

...
