Creative urges mixing analog wax, sound and open source technology


Computing has its warts, fun and rewards, but sometimes other creative urges come to light, such as DJing and music production. How do we leverage open source operating systems and applications to act on said creative urges?

i wish more ppl could realise their creative urges --friend

This programme will cover the tooling and setup needed for anyone to start DJing and producing music, using as much open source as possible. Those familiar with or interested in other aspects of signal processing may see some parallels in concepts like flowgraph design and implementation. Some discussion may ensue about states of the audio subsystems in the operating systems.

While the focus is not on the artistic sides of DJing and music production, a demo involving turntables and vinyl control may be included.
