Workshop: Too Many Choices - how to make music if everything is
possible.

Imagitech Theatre, CPIT, Madras St , Christchurch
2pm-4pm  Thursday 21 February $10

Abstract: Music software reached a state where its possibilites
bexceed the knowledge of most of their users. While it became very
easy to create sound, a lot of people are completly overwhelmed by
what their tools offer and and get confused and defocused. The
solution: usage of only a few tools and trying to understand them
well enough to master them. The aim of the lecture is to provide
ideas of how to dive deeper into any kind of music software to make
most out of it. Examples are presented using Ableton Live 7, Operator
and Sampler.

Premises: The lecture and talk is for all audiences which are
interested in computer generated sound. Very basic nowledge of
Ableton Live or any other music software or hardware needed.
