Livecoding with SuperCollider
Writing code as a performance style has become an underground trend (cf toplap.org). Among current interactive programming environments, SuperCollider3 and its extension library JITLib offer particularly elegant support for the expression of musical ideas as code, and rewriting in realtime. The ensemble "powerbooks unplugged" explores this approach in its most communal form: playing on unamplified laptops, sharing both sound events and the code that generates them, thus holding musical conversation by exchanging ideas. The workshop sessions will show the basic concepts; participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops, with a current install of sc3 and WLAN card. Participants are also invited to join the Live Coding session(s) on sunday.
