Cult of graa> - Niklas Reppel

'Cult of graa>' is an umbrella term for instant composing performances, coded live and from scratch with the aid of the 'graa>' mini-language. 

The 'graa>' language is a self-developed, Python-based domain specific language for the rapid creation and manipulation of directed graphs, Markov chains and other stochastic processes. Thus, it incorporates non-deterministic elements in its very foundations, and the challenge for the performer lies in juggling with a bunch of musical objects, each of which behaves unpredictable to a certain amount, without drifting into complete randomness.
