Live coding workshop Sat 18th January No prior programming experience is needed.
This day workshop will explore the ideas behind live coding, mostly through hands-on exploration of two of the most accessible live coding environments around: IxiLang developed by Thor Magnusson and Tidal developed by Alex McLean. We will also talk about the philosophies and musical approaches behind the live coding movement. Participants will have the opportunity to feed their ideas and experiences back into the development of these freely available, open source systems. Free, but limited spaces available - to apply to take part email a paragraph explaining your interest in live coding to [email protected] by 20th December.
