Live coding in music is an exploration into the fabric of sound, musical structure and a journey that transcends conventional boundaries. It is not merely a technical endeavour but a thoughtful process of discovery and creation.
Live coding offers a new perspective on music-making, allowing musicians to become composers, interacting with sound in real time and shaping it through code. It brings a new dimension to the art, where algorithms become instruments, and experimentation is as natural as breathing. In this realm, the lines between genres blur, and the seeds of new musical worlds are sown. The process is less about conquering uncharted territories and more about unveiling hidden layers, appreciating the nuances, and discovering a new kind of beauty.
The art of live coding is a convergence of the musician, the medium, and aesthetics, where sound and code intertwine to sculpt a new musical landscape.
Experimenting with music via this programmable medium isn't about showcasing prowess but about embracing curiosity. It is about the joy of tinkering, the satisfaction in small discoveries, and the wonder in unexpected resonances.
This workshop is an introduction to the world of collaborative live coding with the open-source platform Estuary. It is not a revolution but a gentle invitation to a different way of thinking about music. Join us as we explore together, learn from one another, and find joy in the simple act of creation. Here, in the quiet interplay of code and sound, you may find not only new music but new ways of listening and understanding.
