This summer, the CNMAT Summer Workshops will be held similarly to last year, with intensive courses throughout the morning and evening.
There is a single fee for all workshops, as students are invited to attend whichever sessions they will get the most out of. This could be all, or some depending on how much outside help they might require. One could, for example, focus on the morning lectures for Monday and Tuesday, then on Wednesday work on brushing up their skills during the morning lecture slot. The schedule is generally going to be 10am to 10/11pm each day, with breaks in between sessions for food, socializing, and one-on-one instruction.

I will be teaching the day school this year, which is an honor, as Michael Zbyszyński has been the former teacher of the course, and has always inspired me to get the most fun out of Max.
John MacCallum will be teaching many of the advanced topics for the evening sessions, alongside other talented educators and users of the language.

Schedule:

July 18-22, 2011

10am-12pm: Beginning/Intermediate Max/MSP Programming

12-1pm: Lunch

1-3pm: Beginning/Intermediate Lab

3-5pm: Open Lab/Special Topics (topics will include Max for Live, gestural controllers and eTextile sensing)

5-6pm: Dinner Break

6-9pm: Advanced Max/MSP Programming

Teaching 3 days of an Experimental Sound course at CCA. The students are engaging and have much going on w/r/t their installations and performances. For the most part, they are using Max and interfacing boards. I’ve been helping developing patches, including some basic/advanced patching techniques, demo-ing examples and I’ve created, and working out details of their sensors’ inputs. Much headway here, and a great class.
