What: GYB_C: a temp hack space to party for
Where: Godspeed in Oakland: 5532 San Pablo (corner of San Pablo and 56th)
When: this Sunday May 17th.
7pm workshops, info sess and videos
9pm music and drinks
Do you find yourself wondering:
What's going on?
Why doesn't this work?
What's with this linux thing?
Trying to make sense of all this weirdness?
Why are we getting smaller and they're getting bigger?
What's with all these restrictions?
Why do I still feel the need to communicate despite all my gadgets to do just that?
Why you feel like you can't do anything because of technology?
Who knows about this stuff I use everyday?
Tired of choosing between that project or that party? Well, now you can do both!
GYB_C is a temporary hack space party, where everyone is invited and encouraged to bring in whatever they are working on, talk about it, get feedback and maybe even some collaboration. While tech was our original focus, we see no reason why you can't come and knit that sweater!
Hack space begins @ 7pm, Sunday May 17th.
This will be open forum, with some video screenings, workshop, and all around open time to share and collaborate.
FEATURE VIDEO: Covert Wireless Monitoring - Learn how to monitor and break into your home wireless network, and not get caught!
FEATURE WORKSHOP: Signal Processing and Synthesis with open source tools (details below)
DJs and Live Music start @ 9.
on_stack to perform:
Rusty Swings for Children
Alakazam
Miss Gawker

Siberian Sex Magik
Workshop info: SIGNAL PROCESSING AND SYNTHESIS WITH OPEN SOURCE TOOLS
with munkeyfreenix.batcat
First installment in an ongoing series. Using Free Open Source Software, we'll be tearing the hood off your synthesizers and properietary Macrosoft audio apps and make our own damn synths and knobs. The May session will focus on Pure Data, written by Miller S. Puckett after he wrote the proprietary Max/MSP. We're planning to cover:
1] principles of Open Source Software- why it exists, and why you should love it, use it, and build upon it.
2] basics of signals in a digital environment: scratching the surface of Digital-to-Analog conversion, discrete time-invariant linear systems, data structures and algorithms
3] basics of sound synthesis: using pure data as a graphical programming language, we'll start making our own synths and explore convolution, ramp generators, and abstraction using patches
No experience in programming or audio is needed to participate. Just bring a laptop that can output audio and preferably install pure data beforehand! We may have some extra laptops, but come prepared.
If you intend on attending, rsvp's would be appreciated. Please write up briefly why you're interested, what experience (if any) you have with dsp and synthesis and what you'd like to see done, and email munkeyfreenix.batcat@gmail.com
We'll gauge the workshop around responses.
