Written by the same coders, Pure-Data is a modular synthesizer system in software. It can be used as a virtual electronic instrument, in a midi studio context or live. It can process live or recorded material, and can be utilised to create sound- and, with GEM - video installations.

Workshops will cover: 'development of computer music' 'history of sound synthesis' 'working in the 3D space' 'generative sound installations' and 'visual processing'
Each workshop will be preceded by an introductory talk led by Steiner.
