Workshop Designing Audio-Reactive Visuals with TouchDesigner

Workshop Designing Audio-Reactive Visuals with TouchDesigner

This workshop is a hands on introduction to TouchDesigner, the node based visual programming tool behind much of that work. Built for beginners, it covers the fundamentals: navigating the interface, working with nodes and networks, and building a simple audio-reactive visual from scratch. By the end, everyone will have a working patch reacting to sound in real time. No experience necessary, just curiosity. Bring a laptop with TouchDesigner installed (free download, non commercial license) and headphones.

Ten Six Pines designs experiential environments where light, sound, and story turn ordinary spaces into moments people carry with them. Founded by Ben Guerrette, the studio works across events, hospitality, and brand activations, building custom installations that connect emotion and technology.
