Off<>zz Live -  Felipe Ignacio Noriega and Anne Veinberg

"A laptop and piano/toy piano duo featuring Felipe Ignacio Noriega and Anne Veinberg respectively. All our performances are improvised and our style is guided by our search for bridging the gap between instrumental and live coding music making. Felipe codes from scratch in supercollider and this in part guides the speed of musical development in our improvisations but is altered due to the presence of an acoustic instrument, namely the piano. We move between blended piano/computer soundscapes, to vibrant grooves, contrary expressions which eventually morph together and musical explosions."

Flock - Shelly Knotts, Holger Ballweg, Jonas Hummel Concert E, Wednesday

Flock (2015) for Live Coders explores flocking mechanisms in network structures as a means of managing collaboration in a live coding performance. Loosely modelling the behaviour of bureaucrats in their interactions with self-regulating political systems, the three performers engage in a live coding election battleground, hoping to win votes from an artificial population.

Feedforward -an electric guitar and live code performance - Alexandra Cárdenas

Feedforward is a system, a cyber instrument composed by performer, electric guitar and laptop. The guitar sounds trigger previously written code and will make the laptop live code itself. The performer reacts to the choices of the computer. The initial settings of the system are a composition that is open to improvisation for both the performer and the laptop.

Auto – Canute

Matthew Yee-King plays a set of digital v-drums which trigger percussion sounds and longer, synthesized sounds. Alex McLean livecodes in the Tidal language, generating polyrhythmic patterns, melodic synthesizer lines and some sampled vocal patterns. They cover a range of rave inspired styles including industrial techno, drill and bass, dubstep and so forth, with occasional bursts of noise and free improv. The performance will be fully improvised, and will experiment with introducing autocoding into collaboration between percussionist and coder.

Live Coded Controllerism – Luuma

A performative design of a new modular instrument. Starting with a blank code page, and a diverse set of controllers. Over the course of the piece, I will livecode the sound and controller mappings for an Algorave style improvisation, bringing in new controllers from the collection as the piece develops. As the set progresses, an instrument will take form, and the performance will move from coding to controllerism. The piece harnesses the flexibility of livecoding to allow the design of an instrument to evolve with the music. The piece will highlight the interplay between instrument, mapping, sound and algorithm design.

chain reaction - Fredrik Olofsson

In chain reaction Fredrik Olofsson writes small programs for Arduino boards and makes them send useless serial data directly to the speakers. Depending on the type of data being sent, at what baud-rate and how the improvised little C programs flow, he gets different rhythms, melodies and a variety of noises.

Sonic Miner - Sam Aaron and Alan Blackwell

This performance is an initial exploration of the potential for Minecraft to be used in an algorave context. Sam Aaron, developer of Sonic Pi, maintains a practice-led research discipline in which the educational tools that he uses in classroom teaching are the same tools that he uses in public performance.
