Noise Meetup Workshops 2024
Noise Meetup is a regular meeting place for the noise community in Linz - with workshops
with workshops, sound performances and jams.
The aim of the Noise Meetup is to get to know, present and exchange ideas among noise enthusiasts with varying degrees of prior knowledge.
Workshops, jams, sound performances: The workshops are about sound production and artistic strategies. The jams are about experimenting, practising and presenting. Overall, the focus is on direct and joint construction, creation, knowledge exchange, reflection, feedback and presentation. There will also be live sound performances and artist talks by sound artists.
The Noise Meetups will also take place at two locations in Linz in 2024:
The workshops will take place in the STWST, the performances in the spaceship (More info about the performances there).
Mascha Illich on the workshops taking place at STWST in 2024:
The 2024 workshops will go more in the digital direction, live coding with Tidal Cycles, sound production with Ableton Live, Pure Data, but also voice work, DJing, visualisation. All of this with a high proportion of women.

Soldering analogue synthesizers
With: Mascha Illich
Date: Sat. 18 May 2024, 2 pm
Location: STWST
Workshop duration: approx. 4 hours
This is about the classic soldering of analogue synthesizers. Mascha Illich hacks small commercial synthesisers and creates simple instructions for re-soldering: www.cargocollective.com/noiselab
The basic knowledge about sound generation and soldering will be taught in the workshop.
Depending on experience, the following synthesisers are offered:
Beginners: oscillator, optical theremin
Intermediate: atari punk console, echo/delay, chaos nand
Advanced: atari junk console, cosmic echo
A soldering kit is included in the course fee (35 EUR).
Looking forward to seeing you at our workshops!
Past workshops
Workshop with SULE SUAREZ and MORITZ MORAST
ATTENTION, THE WORKSHOP WILL NOT TAKE PLACE +++ THE WORKSHOP HAS TO BE POSTPONED +++ DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED.
on 27.4. at 2pm
in der STWST/servus.at Clubraum
Kirchengasse 4, 4040 Linz
LIVE CODING with Tidal Cycles
In the workshop, Sule and Moritz will go through the installation of the required software packages and the setup of the live coding environment Tidal, Atom + SuperCollider together with the participants. In the further course of the workshop, participants will learn how to create patterns and how to transform them.
Tidal Cycles is a programming language for creating musical structures in real time that is connected to the global Algorave scene, which uses code as a musical interface. Tidal Cycles enables the playful use of algorithms, through its simplified language, to create electronic music in real time. Sule Suarez will talk about her creative process with Tidal Cycles. She will give a general context about the software and how it works as well as its potential for creation.
No previous programming knowledge is required for the workshop!

Workshop cost: 30EUR
Sule Suárez is a multidisciplinary artist fascinated by the intersections of art, technology, and culture. Her artistic practice revolves around creative code, visual and sound generation, allowing me to create immersive experiences that challenge the boundaries of different mediums. She works with live coding software such as Tidal Cycles, Hydra, and p5, using these tools to expand her artistic expressions and explore new creative territories.
Moritz Morast is a musician and artist currently residing in Vienna, Austria. In his works he explores non-linear musical systems through improvisational immediacy and playful spontaneity, unraveling their idiosyncrasies and self-organizing properties. He is interested in the artifacts, overtones, and hidden structures of sounds that are revealed when subjected to high gain distortion and feedback processes. He works solo, as well as in different formations, ranging from free improvisation, extreme metal, and avant-rock, to experimental electronics. He also composes for dance, theater, films and virtual reality. His musical work has been showcased on Festivals like Ars Electronica(Austria), Heart of Noise(Austria), Donaufestival Krems (Austria), Ars Musica (Belgium) and Meme Festival (Spain). http://www.morast.at
Workshop with Zosia Holubowska (Mala Herba)
on 6.4. at 2pm in
STWST/servus.at space
Kirchengasse 4, 4040 Linz
Working with archival samples
During this workshop, sound artist and producer Zosia Hołubowska will share their practice of working with archival samples. The artist specializes in working with Eastern European ethnomusicological archives and will provide both possible sources as well as an introduction to their own philosophy and methodology of research on traditional music. They will share their sources and creative ways to process what can be found online. The artists will focus on creating evolving, emotive textures, using both native effects of Ableton Live, as well as third-party plug-ins. As the meeting is designed as a hands-on workshop, it is advised to bring a laptop with installed Ableton Live and headphones.

workshop will be given by Ben Wesch on
Saturday 9.3.2024
at 2pm
in STWST (servus.at clubraum)
UNFORTUNATELY HAS TO BE POSTPONED
Please register under: noiselab.linz@gmail.com
Ben Wesch is going to teach us sound synthesis with Pure Data:
1. give a short impression and examples of Pd‘s capabili-
ties (embedded devices, complex composition and
sound design/physical modelling/AI)
2. provide a basic intro and then
3. spend the main part on building a simple, but
complex-sounding synth with each participant.
Cost of the workshop: 30 EUR.
