Computer Music Workshop from YardYard collective
YardYard present the second instalment of their Pendulum世界术 series in Henry Watson Music Library on Thursday 4 June.
Explore machine learning music tools in a special 2 hour session that will include a computer music workshop and interactive jam, followed by a live performance from rising talent: Nefo.
In the workshop, together we will look into acoustic musical instrument through Data Knot, a set of real-time audio processing machine learning tools. Data Knot is a set of machine learning tools that are optimized for low latency and real-time performance.
Providing a forum to jam for musicians of all abilities, the session will also utilise heritage instruments in the library’s collection including a lute, sitar and more.
This session is Mandarin + English friendly.
After the workshop, there will be a live set from emerging electonic talent: Nefo.
Nefo AKA Nefo Zhang (b. 2000) works in Audiovisual and experimental art. Inspired by natural sciences and imagination, unravel the primary element with curiosity. In transitioning from nature to abstraction, tune into the subtle perception of everything to liberate insight and resonate within the heart. Nefo presented the ‘Immanence’ live electronic music project in symbiotic sound synthesis within the oscillation field. In winter 2018, Nefo started an amateur hobby radio station, transmitting light signals and broadcasting inaudible sounds of nature in the wilderness.
The “Pendulum世界术” series is dedicated to events that allow creatives from all around the world to share their gestalt-free singularisation and the trace in their pursuit.
