Brady O'Leary

Tonight Brady O'Leary will be giving a talk on Computer Music, showing demos of Programming Languages such as Pure Data, and taking a programmatical perspective to music generation and synthesis. This talk will focus on the rich history behind Computer Music, how MIDI works, and different types of sound synthesis programmed into Pure Data, an open-source data-oriented Graphical Programming Language designed to primarily manipulate sound.

We will be working off of the documentation from here on Pure Data.
