Welcome to a fresh influx of Tidal club members! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and if you have problems installing, there's a section for that.. We'll get you sorted!
There's two new lessons up today, in the form of a random function marathon:
I'm behind on doing live streams, so lets fit two in this weekend !
For the first one, I'll attempt tidalclub challenge #2. I'm not 100% sure about the second one - ideas welcome! We can do some q+a during both of them.
I was supposed to come at the summer school last year, but unfortunately I couldn't make it and had to cancel
Yeah that could be fun! I personally would be quite interested in trying out some collaboration, I'm sure there's a lot of potential for fun and learning!
Thanks for all the feedback! I'll leave it open to responses for another day or two before posting a summary. Already it's been really useful.
Here's a first draft of a plan for the next weeks of the course, starting next week. I'm not 100% sure whether I'll be able to spend as much time on it all, because I'm expecting fewer signups/less income for the next two rounds, but it should be OK. In any case some of the weeks look a bit too ambitious, so might end up having to spread them out over more weeks. Thoughts + suggestions welcome !
Week 5 - Tonality
Melodies and chords
Arpeggios
Canons
Week 6 - Control all the things
Controlling supercollider synths
Controlling MIDI
Controlling visuals and other things with OSC
Week 7 - Deeper into functions
Manipulating time
Combining functions
Making shorthands
Week 8 - music production
Review of effects
Longer form composition with “ur” - patterns of patterns
Sending data to a DAW (digital audio workstation)
Working with ‘snippets’
Live streaming
another break!
Week 9 - binary patterns
binary operations
sharing metre and other variables
Week 10, 11, 12 - all the functions
A methodical look at Tidal’s library of pattern transformation functions, trying out everything including the SECRET stuff, no sleep until it’s all covered !
Just wanted to thank everyone on @cycle1 for signing up to the second four-week block. Over 150 have stuck with it (or signed up for two blocks at once), which makes it all very much worth putting the videos together, as well as financially sustainable. Thanks !
Hi all,
Sorry I'm a bit slow with adding materials for week 7. I've got a lot of other things going on at the start of this week so it might not be until Wednesday that I manage to start sharing videos.
Take care
Ok into week 8 already! Time goes fast.. This week I'm be filling in some gaps with some core functions mixed in with some of the stranger ones.
Then after that I'll have a break before doing the third (and possibly final) block of lessons.. I've got a big deadline coming up at the end of the month so it might not be until July before I start up again. I'll still be around to answer questions, maybe with some live streams / Functions of the Week too.. and we should have a commissioned video about interfacing Tidal with a DAW soon too!
Sorry @cycle1 I've been extra slow adding videos this week. I'll catch up over the weekend - I think I'll bring forward binary patterns to look at mask and so on, and have an idea for a challenge.. In the meantime enjoy FOTW#3 - weave! -> FOTW#3 - weave
Sorry week 8 still hasn't ended! It needs another video or two but I'm really caught up in a funding application. In the meantime there's a commissioned video on the way.. More soon
thanks
