"The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMa) instigates new musical ways of exploiting ever-growing banks of sound and gestures within the digital composition process, by bringing breakthroughs of signal decomposition DSP and machine learning to the toolset of techno-fluent computer composers, creative coders and digital artists.” (Fluid Corpus Manipulation, n.d.).
The FluCoMa Workshop is a collaboration between CIRMMT and the ACTOR project with the support of composer Pierre Alexandre Tremblay, one of the developers of the library and a current Visiting Academic at CIRMMT. The aim of the workshop is to bring together creative practitioners currently working with FluCoMa and to exchange ideas in a constructive and collegial environment in order to learn about different approaches and uses of the library through the presentation of ongoing projects. Participants can apply to present their projects, to address some potential problems or issues, and find solutions and alternatives. Students and interested participants will present their current projects that make use of the FluCoMa library.
The workshop will be bilingual with presentations both in English and French and is intended for advanced users.
The workshop is scheduled to take place in two parts:
- 10:00am-1:00pm
- Lunch break
- 2:00pm-5:00pm
The deadline for the application for participation in the April 14 workshop is April 1st. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to the address indicated above stating your interest in participating in the workshop.
For those new to FluCoMa that are still interested in attending the workshop, there will be a preparatory online meeting (see the dates below). The goal of this introductory session is to provide guidance in the installation process and a brief introduction to the library. Following the initial setup, the participants can continue getting acquainted with the framework by watching the available video documentation available online or following the tutorials available in the release.
The proposed dates are:
- March 23 3:00-5:00pm;
- March 24 3:00-5:00pm;
- March 29 3:00-5:00pm;
- March 30 3:00-5:00pm.
The deadline for the application for participation in the preparatory workshops is March 17th. If you’re interested in participating in the preparatory workshop in March, please send an email to the address indicated above and provide (if possible) more than one date option.
