Goldsmiths Thursday Club Xmas party - Live coded Thursday 16th December 2010 6:30pm sharp til 8:30pm Goldsmiths Digital Studios, Ben Pimlott Building, Goldsmiths, London Nearest tube: New Cross Gate or New Cross Live coding is a new direction in electronic music and video, and is starting to get somewhere interesting. Live coders expose and rewire the innards of software while it generates improvised music and/or visuals. All code manipulation is projected for your pleasure. Featuring: slub - Slub celebrate a decade since they first got a whole room of people to dance to their code (at Amsterdam Paradiso), with a hard-edged set of abstract acid with extra breakdowns. [ http://slub.org/ ] Wrongheaded - Conducting an algorithmic seance, where a ouiji board control interface issues instructions from beyond the grave. Dimly lit but for the flickering of gas-driven projector screens, the protagonists will be appropriately moustachioed as they bring you ethereal sounds from the underworld. Thor Magnusson - Shaking, self-modified beats with ixilang, from the co-founder of ixi audio. [ http://www.ixi-audio.net/ ] Michele Pasin - Audio/Visual temporal recursion with Impromptu. [ http://www.michelepasin.org/ ] Forth + Yee-King - South Bank Common Lisp + SuperCollider synchronised in percussive improv. [ http://www.yeeking.net/ ] Live coding is inclusive and accessible to all. Many live coding environments can be downloaded and used for free, with documentation and examples to get you started and friendly on-line communities to help when you get problems. Popular live coding software includes supercollider, ChucK, impromptu and fluxus. Live patching is live coding with graph-based languages such as the venerable pure-data. It's also possible to livecode with a gamepad, e.g. with the robot oriented Al-Jazari.
