Event overview
Part of the Thursday Club season
Live coders program in conversation with their machine, dynamically adding instructions and functions to running programs. Here there is no distinction between creating and running a piece of software – its execution is controlled through edits to its source code. Live coding has recently become popular in performance, where software is written before an audience in order to generate music and video for them to enjoy. McLean and Griffiths have played around Europe together with Adrian Ward as the live coding band "slub". They will talk about the history and practice of live coding, and give some demos of their own live coding environments.
ALEX MCLEAN has been triggering distorted kick drum samples with Perl scripts for far too long. He is a PhD student at Goldsmiths Digital Studios.
DAVE GRIFFITHS writes programs to make noises, pictures and animations. He makes film effectis software and computer games.
Dave & Alex are both members of the Openlan free software artists collective and the TOPLAP organisation for live algorithm promotion.
