Who: New media mavens, Electroacoustic elves, Audio activists, Visual vixens of all skill levels.
What: Overlap.org’s sixth Max/MSP/Jitter/Live Salon
Why: To cast technological spells of shifting light and sonic magic in a shared conceptual space for sharing and learning. The focus is on Cycling ‘74’s Max/MSP/Jitter and Ableton Live, but general friendliness is to be had toward other patching environments like Pd and Plogue Bidule.
Where & When: 020090603, Wednesday (today!), 19:00 at SoundArts in the Mission - 520 Hampshire Street, Suite 206, San Francisco, CA 94110
How: We start off with a round of introductions, followed by a short Max/MSP/Jitter/Live related presentation. After this, we generally tackle the Project Of The Day collectively. This can be anything: working on a new or existing Max patch together, a musical session or discussing concepts and methods for future works. Other talks and impromptu performances can also break out at any time.
I’ll be holding down the presentation slot this month, showing off the Manta and my new tonal mapping app for it, Honeycomb. Barry Threw continues his role as Overlap MC Extraordinaire. Other attendees bring all the soul power and, if we’re both hungry and lucky, there’s an excellent food stop somewhere after the Salon filled with even more conversation and idea swapping.
Update: Overlap Max/MSP/Jitter/Live Salon 06 was a roaring success. People loved the Manta and had many questions about both it and Honeycomb. Barry rocked out a noise performance while demoing the K-Bow and its software.
Note Barry is sporting both the archaic and new school versions of the Cycling ‘74 logo. Max/MSP gangsta for life.
