SCUMsessions: Listening Lounge
Indexical transforms into a comportable listening lounge for intentional listening.
Indexical will transform into a comfortable zone for listening and hanging out. Guests are invited to bring records, tapes, CD’s, or other media to listen in an intentional setting on our Meyer sound system. The first portion of the session will feature curated selections from the staff. The second portion will switch to “open decks,” a more casual setting, where anyone can provide or choose something to listen to.
Listening Lounge is an extension of the S.C.U.M. series hosted at SubRosa Community Space at The Hub.

Granular synthesis is a type of sound generation that operates on the microsound timescale. In principle, a sound is broken into tiny grains; each grain serving as a building block for macroscale composition. Participants will learn basic granular synthesis techniques along with an overview of its history as we build our own custom designed granular synth in the open source software Pure Data. Pure Data (or just "Pd") is an open source visual programming language for sound and multimedia.
