Radionica animiranih grafičkih audio partitura – Oscilla pod vodstvom skladatelja i intermedijskog umjetnika Roba Canninga održat će se u četvrtak i petak, 28. i 29. svibnja 2026. od 18 sati u Radioni.

Oscilla je open source sustav za animirane, umrežene grafičke partiture koji radi unutar web preglednika. Riječ je o okruženju u kojem samo sučelje postaje partitura, a partitura postaje instrument za izvedbu.
Tijekom dvodnevne radionice sudionici će praktično raditi s dva besplatna, višeplatformska open source alata: Inkscape za crtanje partitura u SVG formatu i Oscilla za njihovu animaciju, sinkronizaciju izvođača preko mreže te slanje OSC signala prema zvuku i instrumentima koje koriste — od akustičkih instrumenata i modularnih sintisajzera do samplera i vlastitih patch sustava.
Sudionici će kroz jednostavan skriptni jezik razvijati ponašanje vizualnih i zvučnih cueova te do kraja radionice zajednički realizirati kratku kolektivnu izvedbu.
Radionica je namijenjena skladateljima, sound artistima, improvizatorima, elektroničkim glazbenicima i vizualnim umjetnicima koje zanimaju partiture koje se kreću, reagiraju i razvijaju kroz vrijeme. Predznanje programiranja nije potrebno.
Potrebno je ponijeti vlastito prijenosno računalo s Linux, macOS ili Windows operativnim sustavom te instrument, uređaj ili alat koji želite koristiti za sviranje, snimanje ili kontrolu zvuka.
Prijaviti se možete preko poveznice: https://forms.gle/Rxg7XhcHyYBQY6hv7 do srijede, 27. svibnja 2026. u podne. Kotizacija za sudjelovanje iznosi 15 EUR. Broj mjesta je ograničen.
O voditelju:
Rob Canning je glazbenik, skladatelj, intermedijski umjetnik i edukator čiji rad istražuje dijalog između algoritamskih, sustavno vođenih strategija skladanja te intuitivnih i improvizacijskih pristupa. Stvarao je glazbu za koncertne dvorane, kazalište, film, plesne produkcije i site-specific projekte, uz razvoj višekanalnih elektroničkih i instalacijskih radova predstavljenih međunarodno na izložbama, izvedbama i konferencijama.
Njegove skladbe izvodili su ansambli poput London Sinfonietta, Concorde Ensemble, National Chamber Choir of Ireland i Con Tempo String Quartet. Njegov rad predstavljen je i na događanjima kao što su International Computer Music Conference, Linux Audio Conference i New Interfaces for Musical Expression.
Od ranih 1990-ih svoju umjetničku praksu razvija isključivo koristeći slobodan i open source softver. Kao zagovornik slobodne kulture i otvorenih tehnologija surađivao je s inicijativama i kolektivima poput GOTO10, OpenLab, London Hackspace i SPC medialab.
Živi i djeluje u Sloveniji, gdje zajedno sa svojom obitelji razvija ruralni umjetnički program unutar Rizoma Institute, koji djeluje na sjecištu tehnologije, permakulture i izvedbenih umjetnosti.
Rob Canning doktorirao je kompoziciju na Goldsmiths, University of London.

Oscilla – Workshop on Animated Graphic Audio Scores
The workshop on animated graphic audio scores – Oscilla led by composer and intermedia artist Rob Canning will take place on Thursday and Friday, May 28th and 29th, 2026 at 18:00 at Radiona.
Oscilla is an open source system for animated, networked graphic scores running inside the web browser. It is an environment where the interface itself becomes the score, and the score becomes a performable instrument.
During this two-day workshop, participants will work hands-on with two free, cross-platform open source tools: Inkscape for drawing scores as SVG graphics, and Oscilla for animating them, synchronising performers across the network, and routing OSC signals to sound and instruments — from acoustic instruments and modular synthesizers to samplers and custom patch systems.
Using a simple scripting language, participants will develop visual and sonic cue behaviours and collaboratively create a short collective performance by the end of the workshop.
The workshop is intended for composers, sound artists, improvisers, electronic musicians, and visual artists interested in scores that move, respond, and unfold in time. No coding experience is required.
Participants should bring a laptop running Linux, macOS, or Windows, as well as any instrument, device, or tool they would like to use for playing, recording, or controlling sound.
You can apply via the following link: Registration form no later than Wednesday, May 27th, 2026 at noon. The participation fee is 15 EUR. The number of participants is limited.
Rob Canning is a musician, composer, intermedia artist, and educator whose work explores the dialogue between algorithmic, system-based compositional strategies and intuitive and improvisational approaches. He has created music for concert halls, theatre, film, dance productions, and site-specific contexts, while also developing multichannel electronic and installation works presented internationally in exhibitions, performances, and conferences.
His compositions have been performed by ensembles including London Sinfonietta, Concorde Ensemble, National Chamber Choir of Ireland, and Con Tempo String Quartet. His work has also been presented at events including the International Computer Music Conference, Linux Audio Conference, and New Interfaces for Musical Expression.
Since the early 1990s, he has developed his artistic practice exclusively using free and open source software. As an advocate of free culture and open technologies, he has collaborated with initiatives and collectives including GOTO10, OpenLab, London Hackspace, and SPC medialab.
He currently lives and works in Slovenia, where he and his family are developing a rural arts programme within the Rizoma Institute, operating at the intersection of technology, permaculture, and performing arts.
Rob Canning holds a PhD in composition from Goldsmiths, University of London.
