As part of his No Bounds residency, Alex McLean puts together this online live series of producers who are pushing algorithmic patterns forward through sound. As well as performing widely (including at No Bounds) Alex co-founded the Algorave movement and created the popular free/open source live coding system TidalCycles. These Alpaca sessions will showcase those using TidalCycles and similar algorithmic music platforms to look beyond stylism, instead using algorithms to restructure music, building on the ancient tradition of pattern making. This first session showcases producers from Minneapolis, Tokyo and Paris. Line-up: *** Kindohm // Minneapolis *** Kindohm aka Mike Hodnick makes music using computers and synthesizers.
