For anyone interested, I’m playing an improv set at the Elastro A/V Fall Festival at Elastic Arts, on October 25th. It’s night one of a special series of four live electro/acoustic sound + video performances featuring over 40 local artists. I’ll be improvising with 4 other folks in the 2nd set. I’ll be playing modular synth, but there’s a whole variety of electro/acoustic instruments involved, looks really fun.

HI. Its seems like its just a few of the same of us posting here, but what the hell. LOL.
I’m playing two shows next week…

Thursday Nov 14th - Cafe Mustache
Levinson / Mahlmeister

This is a duo with myself on lapsteel and modular and Jamie Levinson on Sensory Percussion triggers, Ableton and modular. This stuff is pretty ambient/chill.

Saturday Nov 16th - Logan Square Loft Party, Location TBA
Batchmeister

This is another duo which I play guitar and modular with drummer Jason Batchko. This ventures into free jazz / free improv territory a little more, and dare I say we actually have some pieces with pre-written parts. Ha.

might already be an obvious go-to for ya but the Eli Feildsteel tutorials really are excellent and totally introductory (and free)

I personally don’t really think anyone needs a tutor to learn a synthesis language but I guess everyone has their own learning style & preferences

ahhh that’s fair yea - I could see how having some kind of programming background would speed up the learning curve

short of providing what yr looking for one option could be trying out something closer to conventional programming to get a little better handle on the logic side of things (maybe something like Processing). might not help you personally but just a thought. sometimes it’s a good foundation to have

What about a Supercollider/norns meetup group for Chicago? I have modified a few examples from the docs for my own purposes but would love to learn more about all of it.

full disclosure I started learning supercollider about a week ago hopefully I’m not coming off like an expert ovr here :laughing:

always down to talk music code stuff in general tho - I’ve spent far too much of my last two years wading through max/msp spaghetti + @dan_derks is a certified norns & max for live expert. a THING could certainly be arranged

An SC meetup would be rad. I’ve been dabbling in SC for years so I have a pretty decent understanding of it. I don’t really have time to do any sort of formal training but I’m happy to help people figure out the basics in small bursts. There’s also a slack (scsynth.slack.com) that has a bunch of really experience SC devs and maintainers, that might be a good starting place!

Count me in for any January meetup. Even just to see what people have been doing in person would tickle the brain.

Nice. Derek (Formants) is a good dude, we’ve played several shows together.

I’m excited (and maybe a little anxious) to be playing on a bill with a bunch of people I don’t know!
