So hard to find time to do something creative these days. So I thought I'd post a screencast of a livecoded piece I'm still working on: Ziggurat 51. Hope you'll find it interesting!

blog  Article: Thought and Performance, Live Coding Music, Explained to Anyone.

Dec 2011

I bookmarked this article on createdigitalmusic.com a while ago (it's from Jul 2010) and ran into it again today.. "Thought and Performance, Live Coding Music, Explained to Anyone – Really" by Peter Kirn contains several simple but thought provoking ideas about livecoding and its relevance in the (traditional) music world.


blog  Workshop on Live Coding @ RMLL-11.

Jul 2011

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.


blog  Livecoding is like gardening.

Jun 2011

Just ran into this interesting article by Brian Eno. It struck me as quite a fair representation of what livecoders do most of the time, when they create (maybe I should say 'sculpt') musical structures that evolve in time, as part of their performance:

blog  New Impromptu screencast and a few lessons learned.

Oct 2009

Initially this song was called 'Voices Slowly Talk To Me' - then.. as usual.. I lost control of its direction! So I don't know anymore how much the title would apply. Anyways, it's my second experiment with recording an Impromptu performance (by the way I also played it live the other night at the Shunt in London, with various mistakes and delays, but somehow I got to the end - thanks to the toplap crew for their support!).
