Learn How to Create Music on Your Phone, Glitch Art, Stereoscopic gifs and More w/ Doctor Popular
This seems pretty fucking rad, but as I’m also pretty fucking slammed I’m just gonna cut and paste what Doctor Popular sent me by email. All this is happening at The Secret Alley. Now a word from the good doctor himself:
Know and Tell is a series of creative workshops running all through August. Each Wednesday night I’ll go over a different talk about glitch art, 3D gifs, chiptunes, and more, in a casual setting (BYOB). I’ll share my process, favorite tips, and answer questions along the way.
Making Music with Nanoloop for Mobile- August 6th
In 2010 I released my first all-iPhone-album using Nanoloop. Since then the app has gotten better and ported to Android. In this workshop we’ll walk through the basics of writing a song in Nanoloop for mobile.
Glitching Images With Simple Text Editors– August 13th
Breaking things is fun! I’ve certainly spent plenty of time using glitch apps like Decim8 for the iPhone, but glitching images with text editors is surprisingly easy. In this workshop we’ll go through the basics of text glitches and see how the effect differs from format to format.
Creating stereoscopic GIFs (aka Wigglegrams) – August 20th
I’ve been knee deep in my 3D City photo project and constantly get asked how I create the images. In this workshop we’ll discuss how to use Photoshop to easily align two or more images, animate them with the somewhat hidden Animation Timeline, and best practices for saving these GIFs.Making Music With Nanoloop 2.0 for Game Boy Advance– August 27th
I’ve been waiting on doing this workshop until I finally get my shipment of Nanoloop carts out of US Customs… but I’ve decided to do this workshop no matter what. In this workshop we’ll cover the basics of Nanoloop for GBA including: copying/pasting songs, saving patterns, arranging patterns into songs, and tricks for creating my favorite sounds.
