Center for Concrete + Abstract Machines and Hypercube Stereo present a multichannel audio workshop using Max/MSP and the Hypercube Stereo 16 channel system.

Join CCAM for a Multichannel sound workshop run by Oakland/ chicago sound artist, composer, and technologist Kim Nucci (@plzsendpzza ).

From 10 until early afternoon , we will meet at Tritriangle. Kim will introduce techniques and approaches for spatialisation of sounds in a Multichannel environment. We will work in maxmsp, as well as port in sound location information to max from p5xjs (unity, touch designer etc). Participants will get hands on experience moving sound in space. If you like, bring your own sounds or algorithms.
