Max is a pioneering visual programming environment that allowed thousands of creative minds to craft new kinds of interactive sound art since the 90s. Over the last decade, it made its way inside Ableton Live, one of the most emblematic DJing / music production digital audio workstations around. This shows that there is now a real culture of crafting real-time interaction among a growing base of musicians, and Live has become this hybrid tool for experimenting and producing. In this workshop, we want to give a fresh and creative look at the Ableton Live platform as it is now, and dig into its real potential to craft innovative sound art performances and installations. We will leverage the power of Max for Live and the Live API model to explore three things: interactive sound design, i.e. beyond clips and tracks; algorithmic composition, i.e. how to create rich and versatile sound storytelling; and of course real-time control, i.e. plug Live to sensors and streams. Please note that you will have to bring your laptop for attending the workshop.
