If you're in SF in march and interested in Max/MSP, my conf/music festival, Algorithmic Art Assembly, has a workshop on Creating Digital Instruments with Max/MSP - https://aaassembly.org/workshops/ (conf also features Miller Puckette, Curtis Roads and many more!)

That's neat, I live in SF and would love to submit my proposal for this event on AI & Music possible?

Yeah, the Friday workshop is women and non-binary only. TidalCycles, the Saturday workshop, actually uses SuperCollider as the sound synthesis engine however.
