EJF: Chess & MIDI with Brian Lawlor
Donation based
Chess heads, tech-heads, & music heads: this is the session for you. Composer & musician Brian Lawlor will demonstrate his astounding MIDI chess set, created by him and executed by Danielle McPhatter, and talk about the two different programs written for them in MAX (one sample-based program, one MIDI-based program). Lawlor will also play an example on the board replicating a classic Paul Morphy miniature (miniature = short chess match), and another one playing against himself using certain pitch sets on certain squares.
This performance is part of EJF, a weeklong mini-festival chock-full of music, mini-classes, films, and more. EJF is all-day, all-ages.
Please check out the full schedule for more sessions and descriptions.
