Saturday 25.4.26 and Sunday 26.4.26
11am - 4pm with breaks
At Morphine Raum, Berlin, Germany.
A two-day workshop diving deep into the theory and practice of algorithmic composition. At the end of this workshop, participants will have a firm understanding of how to use code, math and numbers to write beautiful, living and complex music. The workshop has a theoretical part that mixes traditional music theory and geometry to create a new understanding of pitches, rhythm and harmony, and in the practical part we will harness the potential of this knowledge to write music using the programming environment SuperCollider. The target audience of the workshop include composers, musicians, sound and engineers and artists of all kinds, but no prior programming experience is necessary.
Mads Kjeldgaard is a composer and sound artist from Denmark. He works mainly in the fields of algorithmic composition and interactive sound art, using self-authored software and hardware, generative processes, patterns, biology, and sound environments to create dazzling sonic structures.
In 2024, he founded the platform Exformal Records for sound and listening-based thinking. He studied electronic music composition at The Royal Academy of Music (DIEM) and is a member of The Danish Composers’ Society.
His work has been commissioned by NyMusikk, Aggregate Festival, The Norwegian Centre for Technology and Art, The Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, Intonal Festival, Aggregate Festival and Lemur Ensemble among others. In 2019 he won a gold award at the International Spatial Audio Conference.
He has worked as a technician and developer at The Norwegian Center for Arts and Technology (aka Notam), and as a software developer for music instruments at Torso Electronics, among other things. He is an open source software contributor, and shares creative technology through hyaline.systems.
