habitus is a two-day investigation of new music technologies, creative coding, and field recording, rooted in careful and carefree investigation of gesture and the practice of de/composition. It is a collective gathering to explore new habits of programming and musical practice through experimentation, research, collaborative learning, and the exercise of daydreams.

With an eye toward the monome ecosystem (specifically the norns sound computer), habitus is led by a group of teaching artists with wide-spanning experience and backgrounds. This workshop aims to compel artists toward asking new questions of a wide range of tools including those which run on general-purpose computers, as well as staples from monome like grid, arc, and norns.

The workshop was designed for people with all varieties of background and any amount of musical and programming experience. Pedagogically speaking, habitus is designed to include a very small amount of lecture-style teaching, encouraging the participants to learn from one another and through their natural impulses of curiosity and artistic investigation.
