Mercury Workshop by Timo Hoogland
In deze cursus leer je om elektronische muziek te maken met computercode en algoritmes! Hiervoor gebruiken we de programmeertaal Mercury. Jij programmeert de instructies en de computer vertaald dat naar muziek in allerlei genres. Je kan de code aanpassen terwijl je muziek afspeelt en deze gelijk horen veranderen. Welkom in de wereld van Live Coding! Aan het eind van de workshop ben je in aanraking gekomen met technologie en technieken die gebruikt worden in moderne muziek zoals sampling, synthesizers en sound design en heb je ervaren hoe het is om algoritmes te gebruiken voor componeren van muziek.

Mercury Workshop by Timo Hoogland
Join this crash-course into the exciting world of live coding music. No previous knowledge of programming required, only a desire to express yourself creatively! During this workshop you will learn to create electronic music with computercode and algorithms! For this we use the programming language Mercury. You will program the instructions and the computer will translate that to music in a wide range of genres. You can adjust the code in real time while the music is playing and hear it change. Welcome to the world of Live Coding! At the end of the workshop you have been introduced to technologies used in electronic music production and you will have experienced what it means to use algorithms for composing music.
