The theme of the convention is making music with free and open source software and hardware. That ranges from a single program up to a whole operating system. No matter the technology, the music is always at the center of it. Every talk, demonstration or workshop will be focused on music. To enable this we follow a top-down approach. E.g. we advise our speakers to start with a piece of music and use it as a reference frame for the rest of the talk.
Our presentations and workshops are “hands-on”. They are meant for musicians, composers, broadcasters, etc. who do not need to know anything about messing with the internals of their software. If you just want to record or create nice synthesized or sampled sounds with your computer – the Sonoj Convention is for you! We believe that open source software ultimately helps you to achieve your goals. So bring your computer and join other creators on site!
