Program Notes

A livecoding performance with one person, one laptop, a digital feedback patch and hundreds of .wav files (most of which are drum loops). The audio will be a blend of Algorave, hardcore breaks, industrial hip-hop, and harsh noise. Feel free both to dance and/or lay on the ground in front of the subwoofer.

Abstract


The abstract is displayed here for proof-reading and will only be part of the published proceedings, not of the final version of this web catalogue.

The performance will consist of a livecoding set using TidalCycles and SuperDirt inside Neovim with no external hardware. The code is half composed, half improvised. The improvised component comes from a small performance system made inside Neovim allowing for faster control of pattern streams and effects. This turns the laptop more into a gestural instrument, where everything is still controlled through a REPL, but keystrokes have a more 1:1 correspondence with changes in sound. The result can be described as 30 minutes of continuous glitchy experimental industrial hiphop techno harsh noise, all fluidly transitioning between each other.
