Announcing 5-day workshop in Linux audiowork at NOTAM (Oslo, Norway) - november 12-16. The use of Linux in sound and musicwork is spreading out fast. This course will start with a short intro to Linux as working-environment, and continue diving deeper into relevant sound- and music applications. The content of the course will be adjusted according to the participants needs wherever possible. Typical sound-related tasks which will be focused on are: + installation of Linux, distributions, Live-media general intro to Linux, standard-apps (web, email, file-handling, audio/video/text/graphics) + discussion about typical Linux-relevant hardware: PC, Mac, things, gadgets, boxes... + intro to standard soundware on Linux, recording, playback, editing, mixing -- Ardour, Jack, PD, Snd, SuperCollider, Audacity... + compositionsystems, notation, sequencers, MIDI-tools, DSP-tools + use of NOTAMs Linux-equipped labs and studios + interactive control, sensors, installation-setups + studiowork: recording, mixing, mastering + realtime soundwork for concerts and installations Everything relevant to participants own projects (if any). The whole workshop will end in a small concert at NOTAM on the last day of the course. Participants may bring their own computers to get a good Linux-based music & audio-workstation up and running, and will be guided through installation and configuration.
