Workshop Hitting laptops with drumsticks: approaches to performing with drums and electronics. Active participation for students Live Electronics and Music Technology. – Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel – Brussel – 22/11/23

The workshop will focus on exploring machine learning in the context of real-time, low-latency electro-acoustic performance. Participants are encouraged to bring their instrument and explore the possibilities of “SP-Tools”, a set of machine learning tools for drums and percussion, but it is also applicable to other instruments and audio input types (e.g. guitar, voice, flute, etc…). We will also talk about some broader machine learning concepts in the context of music making via the Fluid Corpus Manipulation toolbox. Some prior knowledge of machine learning and Max is useful but not required.
