In a four-day workshop hosted by V2, sound artists Frank Barknecht and Aymeric Mansoux will introduce the basics of Audio Signal Processing (ASP) in the fields of real-time music production. This workshop specifically targets people who want to develop their work in the digital sound field or those people curious about the processes involved behind the audio software they already use.

The program starts with a theoretical introduction to the basics of digital sound, after which participants will work with the open source software Pure Data (http://puredata.org) to turn theory into practice. The workshop also teaches and demonstrates which free technologies are available for audio streaming, such as icecast (http://icecast.org), and ogg/vorbis (http://www.vorbis.com).

A Placard headphone concert Rotterdam Headphone Lounge will wrap up this four-day workshop on Sunday 4 September with performances by Erik Minkkinen, Sei Matsumura, Robert van Heumen, Tom Schouten and Guy Van Belle.

The deadline for applications is 19 August 2005. For all information check http://www.v2.nl and http://goto10.org/-/gw004
