And an experimental reworking of the words from Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, by James Harkins “A preview of work […]
Cambridge is where Sonic PI (and indeed the Raspberry Pi) come from, and has a history of live coding research. Pam Burnard, education researcher, is convening the new “Live Coding Music Co-op” (LCMC) there with the first meeting on the 6th October 2014, 5pm-7pm. It will be highly inclusive and collaborative, across generations and disciplines, and the first […]
It’s been a busy couple months of in live coding, time to start catching up on big news.. Firstly from Cambridge UK; Sam Aaron has released Sonic Pi v2, swiftly followed by v2.0.1. Developed with a school education focus, its sonic and live coding abilities are such that it’s turned out to be a serious “live coding music […]
There’s a wave of excitement across Europe as Mico Rex has flown in from Mexico City. They are part of the vibrant live coding community there are bring some special vibes over, headlining concerts and algoraves in Portugal, Switzerland, Germany (see below) and the UK, check out their video for a flavour! Note that the UK […]
“Many have claimed that ’The computer is the new folk guitar’; if this is so, then PB_UP (PowerBooks UnPlugged) is the first accoustic computer music folk band: The laptop is their only instrument.” Jonas Hummel translated this approach into a documentary film installation and worked out an unusual portrait of this unusual band. On laptops […]
It’s all happening in Amsterdam this coming weekend, thanks to a collaboration between FIBER and STEIM, and the Coded Matter(s) series of events. Friday 21st March – Introductory algorave live coding with supercollider workshop in STEIM, lead by Roald van Dillewijn, Tijs Ham and Eric Magnée, collectively known as The Void*. Saturday 22nd March (day) – More advanced working with […]
Kurukshetra is a large-scale techno-management festival in Chennai, India, and the next edition will hosting a two day workshop by Alexandra Cardendas (previously). Alexandra was involved in the creation of the vibrant live coding scene in Mexico City, and hopefully will seed a new community in India, by introducing them to SuperCollider, Ixi Lang and […]
Version 0.9 of Overtone, the Collaborative Live Coding toolkit, was recently announced. Overtone provides a Clojure language front-end to the SuperCollider synthesis engine with a strong emphasis on functional programming and concurrency. This release represents a fundamental shift in their development approach. Instead of designing and implementing new abstractions that may possibly prove useful, all of the […]
This has been a super busy month for live coding, and I haven’t had much time to update this lately. If you want to contribute live coding news let me know and I’ll make you an account. Anyway here’s some updates.. Welcome to Cyril, a live coding language for visuals inspired by livecodelab, and based on […]
The algorave concept kicked off last month, with events in Brighton and London, and then a 100% live coded algorave in Karlsruhe. The tour then span out further into Germany, with events in Cologne and Duesseldorf. Algoraves are all about dancing to algorithms, including live coding as well as other approaches to controlling and performing with […]
