Description

Under the motto “Make Noise Not War”, a noisy live coding exploration is pursued using different noise generators, spanning from sound-based rhythmic patterns from personal recordings to an augmented box with metal springs, to crowdsourced sounds from Freesound.

The sounds are created with SuperCollider, including self-built SuperCollider extensions such as MIRLCa (github.com/mirlca/code), MIRLCRep2 and MIRLCRew2 (to be released soon, a previous version can be found at: github.com/axambo/MIRLC).

This live set has been specially prepared for the celebration of 10 years of Algorave standing for a pacifist solution to the present turmoil of the war in Ukraine.
