Experimental Music & Psychoacoustics

​"Beware of losing what isn't in your head."
- John Cage

"Collage, Dada, Drone, Maximalism, Microtones, Noise, ... " we'll skip definitions and theories to instead lend an attentive ear.

​An hour of neuroplasticity training for the open-minded.

​We'll then play with the free modular synthesis soft "VCV Rack" to illustrate "machine synesthesia" and the psychoacoustics of a well conceived pan effect.

​We close with a light discussion on how simple LLM interactions can assist digital composers in unexpected ways.

NOTE: although not necessary, it's best if you come with your laptop and headphones, and download the free softwares "VCV Rack 2" and "Audio Hijack" in advance.
