Introducing The Trononator: food + Max/MSP = music

We’ve mentioned in a previous post that the frestyl team was going to run a workshop on Max/MSP in Lecce, called “Play With Your Food”, as part of the activities run by the Stramfest team (which organizes an upcoming electronic music festival in Salento). We chose to teach how to use Max/MSP by showing how you can use sounds related to food to make music. You wonder why, and the answer ain’t hard: Digital Food is the theme of Streamfest 2011!

Anyway, it turned out that the workshop was postponed til this coming fall, but it’s all prepared and ready and we’ve just released the documentation for it. Our fabulous developer and musician PJ Brindisi has built a series of modules for Max/MSP that will allow you to learn about how the software works and what you can do with it, in order to create audio applications. So you should check it out if you’re: a geek and like to make electronic music, a VJ or/and DJ and want to learn a new tool for live performances, a musician that knows about computers and wants to make electronic music, a person who loves food and music (just kiddin’).

‘Play With Your Food’: un workshop su Max/MSP, musica & cibo

Il workshop, modulato sul profilo degli iscritti, è diretto sia a chi già conosce Max/MSP, sia a chi è un semplice appassionato di tecnologie e musica. Continue reading →
