PRESS RELEASE
MAX/MSP Nite School Coming to NYC
October 22, 2001
Advertisement Harvestworks presents a week of instruction and events about MAX/MSP, the graphical programing environment for music and mulitmedia. The Nite School is an intensive 5-evening course in Max/MSP taught by two veteran Max programmers and performers, Luke DuBois and Dafna Naphtali, with David Zicarelli (developer of Max, president of Cycling'74). This hands-on "boot-camp" style workshop is intended to bring up the level of the novice Max user so that they are able to develop their own Max patches with efficiency and reliability for their own performances and/or installation work. Some previous experience or training in Max is strongly recommended (this course is not suited for absolute beginners). Mac literacy required. Sunday November 11 at 8pm, The Nite School will open with a special concert presentation "interface", by Curtis Bahn and Dan Trueman. They will perform and discuss their innovative sensor instruments and sonic display systems used in the production of "./swank" their new release on the Cycling '74 label (C74) Curtis is professor of computer music composition and performance in the Integrated Electronic Arts Program at RPI. Dan is currently professor of music and composition at Colgate University. For more information see www.music.princeton.edu/~crb/interface. The series closes with the workshop "Seeing and Feeling with Max" by Eric Singer, computer programmer and author of "Cyclops", which is an interactive video-analysis object for MAX. Max, a graphical programming environment for music and media applications, allows its users to schedule events with millisecond accuracy, create complex mappings for incoming data, and run a large number of operations in parallel. In essence, it is a graphic tool to create programs by wiring together objects. MSP extends Max's capabilities by incorporating audio objects that are connected to create audio patches where signals flow from one object to the next - not unlike the fundamental concept of the modular synthesizer. Originally developed by Miller Puckette at IRCAM, David Zicarelli developed the program for commerical release and his San Francisco based company Cycling '74 handles all development and distribution. MAX/MSP is used for the instruction of computer music in most major universities and music programs.
