The algorave movement

What is this?
It's a combination of 2 words .... Algorithm & Rave.

"An algorave is an event where people dance to music generated from algorithms, often using live coding techniques.Algoraves can include a range of styles, including a complex form of minimal techno, and the movement has been described as a meeting point of hacker philosophy, geek culture, and clubbing.

Although algorave musicians have been compared with DJs, they are in fact live musicians or improvisers, creating music live, usually by writing or modifying code, rather than mixing recorded music."
 (Wikipedia)

Basically, artists code live on computers.
The code produces music and controls visuals.
The visuals usually include the code itself, so the audience can see the music as it evolves and is written.
The software is free & opensource. Much of it will run on really basic computers (eg a raspberry pi ) making this form of music easily accessible to everyone.

Their logo is a Spirangle.
It's a cross between a triangle & a spiral.

Currently, there is live performance of artists coding and performing all around the world.
It's taking place today,  March 20.
This is also known as the March Equinox ... actually it occured a 2.49pm in Australia.
This marks the arrival of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere & Autumn in the Southern.


The coding festival is called Eulerroom Equinox

They also have a facebook page

Check out my page on Sonic Pi
It's a great tool to get you stared on coding.


TidalCycles is also a great resource for music coding.
 as is Gibber


Hydra is a good place to start learning to code visuals
