Imagine if you could instantly transform the sounds around you at this moment—the hum of electricity, or even the rhythm of your heartbeat—into a playable melody?
What is Max/MSP?
In the hands of a media artist, Max is not just ordinary software; it is the “ultimate DIY instrument builder.” It discards tedious lines of code in favor of connecting “functional boxes” like electrical wires, allowing you to freely manipulate sound, imagery, and data.
This time, we are doing something different:
We refuse dry, solo practice! Led by artist Wang Changcun, we will go from “zero” to “one,” entering a “commune-style” carnival of collective sound creation.
Hands-on for Beginners: We will bypass complex theories and directly create your own simple sound sampler through graphical patching.
Sound Sampling: Capture sound fragments on-site and learn how to transform shards of the real world into timbres of the digital realm.
Collective Discharge: This is the coolest part of the workshop! Everyone joins the same local network, where each person’s sampler acts as a neuron, initiating an unpredictable session of collective sampling.
