FREE FLOW MUSICAL DATA
Pure data programming for beginners
This course is meant for musicians or music enthusiast who have none or very little experience in object programming. During the workshop the basics of Pure data programming will be covered while focusing on audio and building of interfaces for musical performance that can be controlled using wide range of external controllers. The course ends with presentations of demo projects that have been developed during the course.
This course is not meant to make you an amazing programmer, but rather a great musical thinker who will be able to use PD as a tool in production of original works. This course should open your mind to realize that there are many amazing possibilities that you can have for free, that can spare you of buying expansive musical equipment - it just takes creative thinking and a bit of programming.

ARMONIAPOLIS 
Workshop for sound artists, musicians, music enthusiast
​
Armoniapolis is a musical concept that provides a way to re-compose urban sound environment with the use of short textual instructions. By following the given instructions as a performing and listening guide, the city soundscape becomes musical composition, uniquely interpreted by each person.
The goal of Armoniapolis presentation and workshop is spreading the Armoniapolis concept worldwide and through forming of a network with local cultural institutions, building an expansive Armoniapolis community. 
The focus of the workshops is increasing awareness of our sound environment and collecting the materials for Armoniapolis booklet and website.
Workshop consists of theoretical part, sound walk and exercises (writing of Armoniapolis instructions)
