Events

Pd meeting “Show you patch”

Rules:

The session is divided in 2 parts: presentations / free exchange

Presentations:

everyone who wants to present something must register first with name/patch name/tags. The same person can register for multiple slots
each person has 3 minutes to present their patch
after a group of 5 persons, there is a small Q+A round
the next group of 5 comes in, until the time is finished

Free exchange

all authors that presented something are now in the room, and anyone is free to go to them and ask more detailed questions

Concert with selected works

Weimar has too many pieces, so they asked us if some of the pieces can be played in Berlin. This would be the only event where it would be possible.

Blanc sketch pages collective improvisation

A collective improvisation on foreign terrain:

one master with 8 mono inputs and a wireless router
8 workstations (slaves) on the table
patches are open from the master folder, and saved when time limit is finished
when time limit of X minutes for each player in a given workstation is reached, the patche saves, closes, and tells the player to which workstation he should go
players are always rotating. each player goes through X workstations, and then gets sent out. A new player comes in.
players are advised to comment on the patches they prepare, so that new players can follow up as soon as possible. please avoid using too complex subpatches

Projection: hijacking of tcl/tk commands and redraw them in the master? Or regular screenshot patch?

Late night open improvisation marathon

"Bring anything you want and can do - audio, video, sensors, ... -, and join in the group. Take an empty slot, and improvise for a while; leave for a drink and give your place to someone else; and so on and so on, until it's morning again."

performers register a time slot (doodle?)
define which type, audio, video, both
one continous improvisation, with varying players.

Breakfast

In the rooftop of LEAP. Each one brings whatever he might want to have - drinks, food, ... Chances of cooking will be surveyed.
