REGISTRATION for SEAMUS 2010
PRE-CONFERENCE KYMA WORKSHOP There will be a Pre-SEAMUS Conference Workshop on Kyma, led by Symbolic Sound’s President, Carla Scaletti. It will take place Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 10 am to 6 pm (w/ 1 hour lunch break). There is no charge to conference participants, but space is limited so please pre-register by March 15 as part of Conference registration (Step 2).
Description: A one-day course on sound design, composition & live performance in the context of the Kyma sound design language. The course will delve into material not covered in Kyma X Revealed. If you are curious about Kyma, the course offers a chance to see Kyma in action, solving sound design and musical problems. If you are Kyma veteran, the course offers some new approaches to teaching Kyma and to using Kyma in your own work (plus a glimpse at some newly developed synthesis algorithms you haven’t heard yet!) If you are new to Kyma, this course can serve as an opportunity to learn more about how to use Kyma.
BULLETIN BOARD There is an electronic bulletin board for making contact with others about ride sharing and room sharing. http://seamus2010.vanillaforums.com/
