If you are curious about programming, sound and live coding, you should attend this series of workshops on live coding. Workshop organized by C2HO and Notam on the first Tuesday of the month in Autumn 2024 by. Each workshop is an introduction to a different live coding language for musical improvisation and composition.
Live coding is a form of programming where the developer writes the code in real time while the audience watches. The code is usually displayed on a screen that the audience can see, while the work is being created. This is closely related to other performance-based art forms but linked to the programming language as a phenomenon.
About the Workshop
TidalCycles (also known as “Tidal”) is a live coding environment designed for musical improvisation and composition. It is a domain-specific language embedded in the Haskell programming language and is focused on the generation and manipulation of audiovisual patterns. It was originally designed for percussive and polyrhythmic music, but now uses a flexible and functional representation for musical patterns. Therefore, Tidal can be used for a wide range of musical styles, although the language’s cyclical approach to time means that it facilitates use in repetitive musical styles.
Strudel is a live coding platform for creating dynamic music in the browser. It’s free and open source and made for both beginners and experts. Strudel is a JavaScript version of TidalCycles.
