Online Workshop
3 days online Workshop oriented to Musicians who want to extend their experience and creative possibilities to produce well synchronized Audio-Visual Performances as well as for the Visual Artists who want to add the sound part to their work.
60% Visuals Topics + 40% Music Topics based on experience of producing AV performances with Ableton and Modular Synthesizers as well as producing UI Environment for synchronizing visuals with incoming audio signal
We have 3 Online Sessions and Chat room. After the session videorecordings and Project files will be uploaded for the students.
