Fwd: [DMRN-LIST] Timbre Tools hackathon, 23-25 February 2024

On 23-25 February 2024, we'd like to invite you to take part in the first Timbre Tools Hackathon. This is a fun and informal event organised by the Communication Acoustics Lab at the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) of Queen Mary University of London. 


Here are some details on the event:

The basic idea is to spend a couple of days developing an interesting tool that supports the creative process of the digital instrument maker through a more sound-based, timbre-first practice. Aka a timbre tool!


Activities will take place at QMUL's Mile End campus but remote participation from anywhere in the UK and abroad is welcomed. 


This event is a great opportunity to collaborate with researchers at C4DM and the strong UK and international music and audio technology community in one place. Participants from all stages of practice and research are welcomed.


You can register here:

We have started putting together a living document of resources for working with and designing timbre: https://github.com/comma-lab/timbre-resources  

Community contributions via pull requests are welcomed.


If you have any comments or questions about the hackathon, please email c (dot) saitis (at) qmul (dot) ac (dot) uk. Please also feel free to forward these details to your networks or anyone you think may be interested.


Best wishes

Haokun, Jordie, Bleiz, and Charis
