I found this today:
At the very real risk of going into gushing fanboi mode (a regular occurence) - I’m really amazed by this performance.
It’s a journey, it shows the power of live coding, and it’s inspiring as to what can be made. I also feel there is a lot of courage in the performance. It’s also in my opinion a beautiful piece of music.
The artist is based in NYC and is alsoknownasrox
what’s been happening
The Jan meetup at The Sekforde was really great. Lovely staff, Lu met two people for the first time IRL, boggo shared a 3D playstation live coding influenced game, Laura P showed some excellent hacking skills in python, lots of great contributions all round in fact. The next one is 18th Feb :)
what’s in the pipeline
Coming up in just a few days we have AlgoRhythms - excitiiing!
A little birdie tells me that there might be another Noughty Fingers event coming up, whoop! You didn’t hear it from me but you might want to keep the 26th March free 🤭
also what’s been happening
There was a fake[dac~] event at Corsica last week, which was great fun. So many people I know were there, Corsica really feels like a family to me. I met nesso who came over from Berlin to play an absolutely storming set. We were talking about doing a visit with some folks from the UK to Berlin, hopefully we can make that happen this year 🤞
I performed as well which was fun, although I still find that my brain really breaks down in front of a crowd like that.
Still managed to do some stuff with intermittently ‘freezing’ beats which I’ll continue to explore. Not the same as gating, although can (and did, oops) result in periods of silence. The technique is to periodically set the bpm to zero using a sq. If this catches a note mid-envelope it will hold at that value until released to continue. I’m going to try quantising the effect in time, adding variations etc in future.
Have some more things to post and should have more time in Feb to get them out the door fingers crossed. Today I contributed to a pastagang post - the encouragement has really inspired me to write more, hence this post you are reading. Thanks Lu!
Toodle pip.
