strasbourg – Parerga und Paralipomena http://www.michelepasin.org/blog At the core of all well-founded belief lies belief that is unfounded - Wittgenstein Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:13:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 13825966 Workshop on Live Coding @ RMLL-11 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/2011/07/11/workshop-on-live-coding-rmll-11/ Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:13:10 +0000 http://www.michelepasin.org/blog/?p=1445 I just got back from Strasbourg (France) where I gave a talk about my experience with Livecoding and Impromptu at the at the Cultures et Arts Libres Workshop, part of the 2011 Libre Software Meeting. In a nutshell, livecoding is the process of writing software in realtime, as a form of improvised time-based art. Many thanks for the organizers for inviting me, it’s been a quite rewarding experience. Here I’m posting the slides from the talk in case people want to follow up on the things I mentioned.

The slides are very introductory, so I strongly encourage anyone interested to find out more about the world of Impromptu by following the links provided in the presentation.

Livecoding with impromptu

 

The other two livecoders who gave talks at the workshop were Marje Baalman and Dan Stowell; both of them do very interesting stuff with SuperCollider (another livecoding environment) so you better check them out too!

By the way, after the workshop there was also a livecoding performance – but I’m going to report about that here..

– 9/7/11: A gig in Paris at La Generale, “Laboratoire artistique, politique et social”. 14, avenue Parmentier Paris XIe, Métro Voltaire (facebook | lastfm)

– 11/7/11: A workshop+gig at the 2011 Libre Software Meeting in Stransbourg (event page | facebook | lastfm).

I’m going to play a new livecoded song called ‘Fjords‘. During the last days I’ve also finalized several little things that make livecoding with Impromptu faster (and easier, at least for me), which is good, so I’m aiming at making available those too in the coming days…

Btw I’ll try to take videos of the various performances, so stay tuned!        

 

[Update 11/7/11] Here’s a recording of the Paris gig:
