Objectives
a) To understand the technical and aesthetic issues related to interactivity and to the sound processing and manipulation in real-time situations.
b) To acquire the required knowledge to design and develop unique algorithms for real-time sound processing.
c) To be able to develop computer programming skills on Max / Msp environement.
d) To be able to technicaly and aestheticaly approach the musical creation and sound spaces manipulation in real-time.
Prerequisites

Subject matter
1. Interactive systems and graphical programing: Concepts of interactivity, initiation to practices, issus and constraints of interactive systems for real-time audio manipulation.
2. Programming practice of interactive audio systems for sound manipulation in a graphical programming environment: The Max / Msp software. Information flows and random processes. Sound synthesis and information saving.
3. Real-time audio analysis processing: Information capture and audio signal granulation.
4. Real time signal processing: Pitch transformation. Effects and filtering. Live recording and manipulation.
5. interactive sound spaces: The concerto and the installation, interactive systems and reactive systems. The body as interface and the sensors.
6. Creative practices and performance control: Interfaces management , inputs and sends control. Performance and events sequencing control.
