Live Coding Sessions #5
Line up
Nesso
Francesco Corvi, also known as Nesso, is an artistic researcher who uses programming as a creative and performative tool, investigating the relationships between different media and the possibilities offered by technology to develop new artistic languages and forms of expression
Recently, Francesco has been developing a device that allows you to control any parameter of Albeton live through TidalCycles. “At the moment I’m finishing to write the documentation to publish it and I take this opportunity to thank all the team of Music Informatics that is helping me in the final step of this project. I hope this software will be useful both for programmers who want to lean on a production ready environment, and for musicians who want to experiment new strategies of algorithmic composition with TidalCycles in Ableton Live.”
T.mo (NL)
T.mo (Timo Hoogland) is a computational artist, live coder, music technologist and educator from Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. He livecodes experimental electronic dance music and develops generative audiovisual compositions, installations and performances. Timo graduated from the Masters of Music Design at the HKU University of Arts Utrecht, where he developed the live coding environment Mercury to research and develop algorithmic composition techniques and generative visuals in live coded audio-visual performances.
Saskia Freeke (NL)
Saskia Freeke creates generative, computational art on a daily basis. Both her works and her practice stand out by their distinctive playful characteristic. By creating her own rules and playfully adapting these as she goes, Saskia applies a notable evolving narrative to her work. The act of Live coding provides an awesome complementary context to her discourse - for it is the realtime exercise amongst and in conjunction with creative peers that make her contemporary artistic principles come into full play.
Fernando Diaz Smith
Fernando is a creative technologist at Tellart, and despite having a deep love for JS, feels at home in Touchdesigner and now has little interest in typing code. He has the tendency to obsessively abstract and modularize code to a degree that is utterly unnecessary for the task, but he sleeps easy at night knowing the code “could” grow. Outside of that, you can find Fernando talking to plants, building furniture or cycling.
Flor de la Fuego (AR/DE)
Flor de Fuego is a digital artist-goldsmith who mainly uses code and programming in real time to produce performance experiences. Her investigations revolve around concepts such as the body, space, code, language and chaos. She has participated in various international and local festivals, individually and collectively. She is a professor received from the Faculty of Arts of the University of La Plata. Education is a fundamental part in the production of it. She collaborates with the Hydra community, software for Live Coding visuals created by Olivia Jack and CLiC (collective of live coders), Argentina. https://flordefuego.github.io
Hogobogobogo
‘With a keen interest in early industrial electronic music, digital folklore and the forgotten world of midi-plunderphonics(?) Lawrence Mc Guire’s alias as hogobogobogo tries to merge the ‘childish’ with the ’esoteric’ in music. Mostly focusing on composing with digitally synthesized voice! Lawrence is a resident in The Hague, studying at the Institute of Sonology and running the label ‘i.u’ (Brussels).’
Nikilia
Nikilia aka Niki Scheijen is a Dutch artist and VJ based in Rotterdam currently studying Interactive Media Design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Intrigued by the endless possibilities of live coding Niki likes to take an experimental approach to create unique visual experiences. She loves to explore the different forms of media and technology (ranging from digital to analog, or a combination of both!) to find new ways of expression.
Wilbert Vogel
Wilbert Vogel is a freshly graduate from the St Joost bachelor of Fine Arts. Them explores different form of digital art. From playing with A.I., to processing, hydra and even daring to make a few meme’s here and there. Generally interested in the combination of analogue photography and programming. Using Hydra as a way of manipulating images and finding out if Hydra is a tool for making flowy live collages. Them is enjoying jamming aspects of live coding and never knowing if you are going mess up the code or something good is going to happen.
