URL:https://flypost.ie/event/augmenting-sound-with-ed-devane-fsas-x-beta-fe stival LOCATION:Fire Station Artists' Studios - 9-12 Buckingham Street Lower\, Dub lin 1\, D01 R6P3 STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

The New Obsolescence programme at Fire Stat ion Artists’ Studios presents a sound workshop with Ed Devane exploring im provisation and performance using modular sound software, as part of Beta Festival 2026.

Soniphorm Centipede is a free to use, browser-based, real-time sound processing environment. Its modular nature makes it config urable in many ways: create rhythmic patterns from sounds from your hard d rive or recorded live, process an instrument with effects, and improvise s ound with others.

The aim is to facilitate human players of realworl d instruments to interface with advanced audio processing techniques: trig ger samples with your voice; create responsive sequencers for call and res ponse human-machine interaction, network processing with other users, and more.

Course Outline:

The day will be spent e xploring the software, getting set up with audio interface, microphone, an d speaker, and experimenting with instruments and objects. 

Exa mple patches (the name given to the organisation of modules to create a pa rticular outcome) will be provided, and participants will be encouraged to conceptualise their musical ideas so we can solve the problem with new pa tches. 

If you’re familiar with node based patching software li ke Max MSP then you’ll hit the ground running. If it’s all new to you that ’s ok too, there will be plenty of time for questions, experimentation, an d unexpected results.

All software used in the workshop is free and open-source or freely available. Participants can continue using these too ls independently after the workshop at no cost.

Requirements :

To be a professional visual artist (all our facilities ar e subsidised by the Arts Council of Ireland and reserved for artists, we c annot accommodate commercial, and non artist-led projects).

To be co mputer literate and reasonably comfortable with editing software. No prior audio experience is required.

To use your own PC or Mac laptop (Fir e Station has a limited amount of Mac/PC desktop computers and these can b e made available on a first come first served basis), with Chrome browser installed, and a pair of headphones. If you own a small audio interface th at works with your laptop, bring it as well.

If you play an instrume nt that’s practical to bring, please bring it along!
