Please forward the following announcement as appropriate Simon OpenMute PDF of annoucement available at http://3d.openmute.org/uploads/puredata_workshop_om.pdf Further details at: http://3d.openmute.org/modules/wakka/PureData -- START Pure Data/ Free and Open Source Software Workshop ------------------------------------------------- VJ | Video editing | Audio editing ---------------------------------- Hosted by OpenMute, London UK - Monday 13 Dec - Tuesday 14 Dec **PD.ZILLA --- PURE DATA STOMPS THE UK!** Workshops and demos on Free and Open Source Software by Aymeric Mansoux and Derek Holzer. While many tools exist for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes, few of them are designed with the kind of open architecture that allows artists to reconfigure the tools themselves. Fewer still are free to use, share and rebuild. This workshop introduces the software combination of Pure Data, GEM and PDP/PiDiP, running on the Linux operating system, as a platform for audio, video and multimedia artists to explore.

Please set aside a suitable amount of space on your hard drive! [700 Mb for dyne:bolic, or 5 Gb for full Linux installation!] 2 Meet Mr. Pure Data[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] An introduction to simple programming using the graphical environment of PD, or Pure Data. Participants will build a simple, monophonic synthesizer which can be played from the computer keyboard, while learning some of the basic "grammar" and "vocabulary" of the PD language. Several ready-made instruments from the RRADical collection of patches for PD will also be introduced. 3 Everyone Wants to be a VJ, pt. 1[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] An introduction to GEM, the Graphics Environment for Multimedia, which is an external library for PD which allows for the creation and manipulation of 3D objects. Participants will explore basic 3D shapes + movements, as well as mapping images and textures onto these shapes. DAY TWO INTERMEDIATE: aimed towards people with some basic familiarity with computers and Pure Data, and with an interest in making live sound and video. 1. Our Old Friend, Mr. Pure Data[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] A higher level workshop in PD, for those who survived the introduction and are ready for more complex exercises. Here, we will cover using tables to manipulate audio samples, filters + delays, creating reusable modules of code to save you time, and integrating PD into other Linux audio applications using the Jack Audio Connection Kit. 2. Everyone Wants to be a VJ pt. 2[HANDS-ON][3 HOURS] Video mixing and processing using PDP, or Pure Data Packets, another external for PD. Aymeric will demonstrate how to create abstract video from noise, how to load Quicktime video clips from the hard drive, and how to use filters to create video effects. 3.
