In this workshop participants will use their phones as the audio synthesis unit of a hybrid musical instrument. Using our custom Faust based iOS and Android framework, students will connect digital synthesis parameters to the available sensors embedded on mobile platforms (touch screen, accelerometers, gyroscope, etc.). To craft coherence between the musical interaction and the physical form of the device, participants will also design bespoke phone cases using OpenScad. These musical prosthetics will augment the chosen interaction, and reinforce the sound with passive waveguides. The course combines digital audio synthesis (Faust), basic mobile phone programming, 3D modeling (using OpenScad) and 3D printing. Students will leave the workshop with a musical phone case, tailored to their digital musical instrument.
REGISTRATION
Registration is limited to 8 participants and is open to anyone with a little bit of programming background. While our Faust based framework is compatible with Android and iOS, only the following devices will be supported during the workshop: most iPhones, 5th and 6th generation iPod Touch. If you don't own one of the listed devices, you can acquire an iPod touch for only $200 on the Apple Store. We encourage interested participants to take the Faust workshop that will treat the signal processing portion of this workshop in more details.
