Summary

Programming Electronic Music with SuperCollider.

SuperCollider is a programming language and also an application that is made for music composition. It is very powerful, under development, and it is free. It is relatively easy to learn for those who are in programming, yet, with proper guidance and practice, it is easy for everyone. The aim of this two-day workshop would be to open a path through this field. The assumption is that the participants have no background in coding. Therefore, we begin by learning how to code on a computer in general. Then, we will practice with simple ways of sound synthesis. On the second day, we will go further through the subjects and try to compose an etude. This workshop’s goal would be to encourage the participants to start their path to the world of computer music.

The Language of this workshop is Persian and will be held in person in Cage House.

Biography

Sohrab Motabar (b. 1984) is a composer from Tehran. With regards to states of suspension and dazzled motion his music resonates like a maze for the listener. He composes with algorithms, chaotic functions, and non-standard synthesized sounds as a way to give rise to obscured dimensions and experimental modes of perceiving and listening. In 2018 he graduated from the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, Netherlands. Since then, he is teaching, giving workshops, and keeps developing his research further. In addition, he also actively collaborates in selected projects with artists and other musicians.
