![]() ![]() 47 Soul’s ability to infuse the emergent genre with elements of with dub, hip-hop, and rock, as well as to sing in both English and Arabic, has made them more accessible to Western audiences. The band’s music is rooted in traditional Dabke, which is a Levantine folk style from the 80s that literally translates to “stamping of feet.” The genre has broken out of its regional locus in recent years thanks to Omar Souleyman, who released hundreds of live recordings of his sets at Syrian weddings the cassettes eventually reached elated fans in Europe and the USA and set the stage for an electro Dabke revolution. (Their break-out video “Intro to Shamstep” just hit ten million views on YouTube). Beloved by Arabic youth across the world, their music is shaking things up globally with their message of international political solidarity and a joyful call for a borderless humanity. Once again, we’re debuting two international artists in Western Mass and setting you up for some serious dancing.Ĥ7 Soul is a synth-driven New Wave electro Dabke group from Palestine/Jordan/UK that is taking the world by storm. This Quark ensures that the output volume of SuperCollider won’t reach levels which would damage your hearing.The Super Collider is back this October! Its HAFLA (?) time - the word means party in Arabic - with Arabic New Wave from the Levant and pioneering female-fronted Tuareg trance rock from Niger. to protect your ears and equipment, we recommend that you install the SafetyNet Quark, both within SuperCollider on your computer and on your norns. Please note that if you’re new to SuperCollider, you’ll likely make some unexpectedly loud / sharp sounds. We also highly recommend Zack Scholl’s video series, produced in partnership between monome and Music Hackspace: Tone to Drone and Ample Samples. SuperCollider can be run on most any computer – you do not need a norns to dig into these resources!įor those who want to explore creating new synthesis engines for norns, we’ve developed rude mechanicals, a study which walks through building a norns engine from scratch with SuperCollider and Lua. many norns scripts are a combination of SuperCollider (where a synthesis engine is defined) and Lua (where the hardware + UI interactions are defined). SuperCollider is a free and open-source platform for making sound, which powers the synthesis layer of norns. ![]() ![]() lua libs index // overview of norns library extensions (ibid.).norns development // general development notes from Jordan Besly’s awesome monome norns repo.norns: tutorial // chunked examples that reveal the idiosyncrasies of the core norns concepts from Devine Lu Linvega.athenaeum // a repository of study, spike, and sample scripts from Tyler Etters.norns study group // a community run discord server for asynchronous and video study sessions.Resources developed by other learners, script authors, and designers from our community. skilled labor // extended study of norns engine development.rude mechanicals // introduction to building norns engines with SuperCollider.grid recipes // short snippets of code for canonical grid interactions.clocks // create timed and clock-synced function calls: loops, repetition, and delays.softcut // a multi-voice sample playback and recording system built into norns.streams // system polls, osc, file storage.physical // incorporating grids, midi, clock syncing.spacetime // functions, parameters, time.patterning // screen drawing, for/while loops, tables.many tomorrows // variables, simple maths, keys + encoders.a slower pace makes it easier to experiment and uncover the simplicity + musicality of the underlying code. note that if you are running software version 220129 or earlier, you will need to complete a fresh installation – more details here.įor the best learning experience, we recommend one lesson per week. if you have any questions about updating, please see this section of the docs. all of these resources assume you’re on the latest version of the norns software. ![]() through these resources, you’ll learn how to translate your musical ideas into scripts and how to extend those scripts to speak with all kinds of friends.
