I will be teaching a Max for Live workshop in Munich. Thankfully, I won’t be teaching in German (that would be really embarrassing…) but in English. Christian Kleine will be introducing Ableton’s Live. More info here. Note that Jeremy Bernstein will be teaching a MaxMSP workshop at the same place in the next couple weeks.

There’s no much to comment about, but I found this new theme pretty cool… There might be some slightly drawing discrepancies which should be resolved soon hopefully.

I’ll be teaching (in French) a Max for Live workshop at Ircam in a few days. The course will cover almost everything you ever wanted to know about Max for Live ;-)

I’ll also be teaching (in English) a Max for Live workshop in München (Germany) mid-March. More information to come.

In my last post, I explained why I was not composer by making some music. Basically this attempt of making music was the basis for a demo of Max for Live. First of that’s the material:

And here’s a some kind of recreation of the “song”… Everything is done live, with only the mouse to interact with Live.

People often ask me if I am a composer. Despite the fact that I have my card from the SACEM, I always answer “no, and believe me, that’s better for everyone’s sake”. In case you still have a doubt, listen to that crap done in a few minutes for the Max for Live demo. Feel free not to listen it entirely ;-)

I going to make a presentation of Max for Live tomorrow. Christian Kleine from Ableton will present and perform with Live 8. Believe it or not, this is free.

If you are forum member you can attend to the workshop about Live 8 and Max for Live on Thursday.

Finally if you the former was not enough geek for you, the Max 5 Developer Workshop is probably what you are looking for.

That’s it, it’s out… After multiple stable versions, it was time to stop calling it a beta. Enjoy!

Cycling ‘74 and Ableton announce the release date of Max for Live. If you can’t wait for until November 23d download the public beta, and feel free to send us your feedback. But more importantly, have fun!
