Linux Audio Conference 2014
The Open Source Music and Audio Conference
Thu, May 01 – Sun, May 04, 2014
- Location
- ZKM | Center for Art and Media
The 12th Linux Audio Conference (LAC) is scheduled to take place at the ZKM⎥Karlsruhe in spring 2014. The Conference brings together software developers, artists, musicians, composers and users who work with Linux and Open Source software.
Over four day period, discussions will be held in connection with a series of lectures, presentations and workshops on developments in the field of music production in Linux. Electro-acoustic works composed with Open Source software will be performed in several concerts. As part of »Playrooms« and »Soundnight« there will also be several live performances produced with the use of Open Source software, ranging from improvisation and club-compatible sounds.
The Conference was brought into being at the ZKM in collaboration with developers in the Linux audio community between 2003 and 2006. Since then, it has been pursued by renowned institutions within Europe and the USA, and is now, once again, about to 'return home' in 2014.
