If you're coming to the upcoming International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC '20) in Limerick, Ireland, then it's not too late to sign up for my workshop Introduction to music-making in Extempore. Even if you're not coming to the rest of the conference, you can still sign up for the workshop.

This workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to making music in the live coding programming environment Extempore. The workshop will cover:

• the fundamentals of making sound (starting from "hello sine")

• an overview of Extempore's audio signal chain (especially the built-in and highly configurable modular synth)

• introduction to note-level live coding with the Extempore pattern language

No Extempore or previous live coding experience necessary (although experienced practitioners are welcome as well). Just bring a laptop with macOS, Windows or Ubuntu installed and we'll start from scratch. All the required software is freely-available, and a binary release of Extempore will be provided (for Windows/macOS) so those users won't need to build Extempore from scratch

Registration is through Eventbrite, and if you've got any questions send me an email.
