For quite a while now, making music with apps on smartphones and tablets is more than a simple gadget. Some excellent music apps offer innovative digital musical instruments to the users. Additionally, digital music production starts to change. These apps already allow remarkable musical results, as demonstrated with first serious album productions (e.g. "The Fall" by Gorillaz) and professional stage performances (e.g. by Jordan Rudess or the DigiEnsemble Berlin).
The summer school will be a composition and sound workshop, in which participants will try out perspectives and potentials of "mobile music." A range of different sounds and musical compositions will be developed in groups and discussed in a plenary session. Results of the interactive creative activities will be presented in a public performance at the c-base.
Version:Starting with an overview of the different music apps, platforms, devices and interfaces, musical practices will be explored in the creative laboratory. Therefore, project groups will develop several performances and productions. The (partial) results will be presented in the workshop by the end of the last day. Additionally, a joint rehearsal with the musicians of the DigiEnsemble Berlin is scheduled. The last two days will be used to prepare the public performance. The final concert will be located in the c-base.
Period
29-07-2013 - 02-08-2013 (1 weeks)
Target group
The workshop addresses interested parties as well as musicians, sound artists and music technologists, who are attracted by making music with digital sensor controlled devices and who are seeking for an interactive exchange with others on new musical forms. At the same time, the workshop addresses composers and creative individuals (from the field of marketing/media production), who are keen on creating film material and background music for media productions.
Course aim
Central questions are: Can you express emotion and meaning with mobile music apps? Which visions are offered by mobile sensor controlled devices (as smartphones and tablets) for music production and for future use as musical instruments? Which musical forms, fields of application and performing practices can be shaped by music apps?
