OSC over the Internet and Synchronized Text Editing in SuperCollider

This workshop gives an overview of the tools we have been using and those that we have newly created and published as Free Software, so others can also use them in their setup.

The workshop is divided into three sections, the first section shows TCPOSCRouter, a Free Software service we developed to connect multiple OSC clients and exchange OSC messages over the internet. The second part focuses on two SuperCollider libraries, one to simplify connection to the OSC message router, and another to enable synchronized text editing inside the SuperCollider IDE. The final part will give an overview of the SuperCollider infrastructure we built on top of those libraries to support the classes and live coding sessions.

Level: intermediate

15 max. participants.

Learning outcomes:

• Setting up the necessary infrastructure for online collaboration using Open Source/Free Software programs by sending OSC messages over the internet.
• Sharing some experiences on experiments over this sort of collaboration in a teaching/learning environment.
