An evening of fresh live coded music, visuals and collaborations. To see beyond techbro accelerationism, we will decelerate, dancing together through all the different kinds of handmade, live coded dance music and BPMs.
In celebration of the 17th birthday of TidalCycles, the precursor to Strudel and the whole family of free/open source 'Uzulangs' popular in the live coding/algorave community.
"The scene at an algorave is often what you'd expect from any good techno night - a dark room, engaging visuals. a decent, bass-heavy speaker set-up, and lots of people ready to dance. .. performers at algoraves respond to each other and the audience in real time, often projecting the lines of code onto the walls as they type. lt’s coding as improvisation and experiment.." — The Wire magazine
Live coders write computer programs live, while the programs generate their music, but the focus is on people dancing and seriously enjoying themselves" — Dazed and Confused
".. not so much a revolution as a de-volution, a rolling back to the backend of music production, where the possibilities of the encoded information inside computer software is open and endless" — Mixmag
"... loud, disorientating and brilliant" — The Guardian
A collaboration between London? Live? Coding? and the Pattern Clubs of Sheffield and London.
