The next class will be Wednesday the 10th of April at 20:00. You will need your own laptop running either OS X or Windows. Max does not currently run on Linux. If you want to make your Linux machine make funny noises, you should consider [http://puredata.info/ PureData]. Class will be in the [[Classrooms#Turing|Turing classroom]], which adjoins the Church classroom at the back of the space.

Now that we're all Max experts, it's time for us to put on a concert. This is, after all, what people do when they become recognized and celebrated geniuses in their respective fields: they invent some kind of spectacle to cement for all eternity the scope of their dominion over their medium. Granted, we've only been messing with Max for a couple months or so, but I think we're close enough.
As far as what we'll talk about in this class, I want to start looking at these Max meetups less as a lecture series and more as an opportunity to make some interactive art. For our first project I suggest we plan an interactive installation for the Turing room. We can fill the room with light and sound. We can create an immersive, reactive performance. Whatever it we do, it will be a great opportunity to pool our genius and to raise money on behalf of Noisebridge. So let's roll our sleeves up already.


I'd like for everyone involved to put together a performance piece of at least three minutes. That piece can have audio or visual or even sculptural elements to it. It can sound good or bad or neither. It doesn't even actually have to use Max. The only rule is that it must have a live component. You, the composer, have to actually shape the evolution of the piece in some way as it goes on. No pre-recorded music.
This Wednesday we'll split the class into two parts. In the first part I'll do a quick demo on how to build a vocoder, which is a tool for making people sound like robots. That shouldn't take too long, so in the remaining time we can brainstorm about what we want to do in the Turing Room Performance Space. Bring your best ideas and your darkest mania.
 
We'll be talking more about materials and sharing inspiration in the classes leading up to the performance. I'll also be fleshing out more exactly the requirements for each piece.
