Live Coding Sessions #6
We are back! -announcing Live Coding Sessions #6. Join us on October 6th at our usual venue, Doka Amsterdam, to enjoy the art of live coding and loosen those hips for some dance moves!
Line up
Sonologico, Frank Bosma, Petra Eros, Jobi & Rayén, Jonathan Reus, Olbos and Sabrina Verhage.
Sonologico (Raphael Sousa Santos) is a composer, visual artist and programmer from Brazil based in the Netherlands. He experiments with the development of programming languages and the use of random processes, evolutionary algorithms, field recordings, photos, movies and spectral techniques for the creation and performance of music and visual arts.
In this performance, he will live code with virtual orchestral instruments to create slowly shifting harmonies, moving textures and pulsing percussion.
Frank Bosma is a creative developer connecting people with purpose through playful experiences, whether that’s online or offline. From sites to apps and Augmented Reality to Virtual Reality, if it has an API he’ll give it a go. With a love for music, dancing, coding and 3D environments, Frank will create 3D generative scenes based on audio analysis and audience input.
Petra Eros (HUN/NL) recently graduated from Graphic Design at the KABK (The Hague). Besides her interest in the professional field, her visual art practice focuses on exploring the performative aspect of live coding and collaborative practice of ‘hacking’. She took part in our Live Coding Summer School which triggered her interest in the exciting world of live coding.
Jo and Rayén are the cofounders of Radical Data, a duo creating data analyses and tools for resistance and alternative utopias. When they’re not doing that, they like to make parties through dancing and music. There, they try to bring collective joy to the dance floor.
At Live Coding Sessions, they will perform a mashup of a live coding music set and a live perreo (twerking) workshop.
Rayén is a dancer, artist and DJ who likes to turn the dance floor into a pleasure activism space. Their dance workshops and DJ sets use a queer and decolonial approach to explore our relationship to our body and pleasure.
Jo Kroese is a mathematician and artist who uses data as a tool for justice and joy. As Jobi, they make music with code, playing internationally from Berlin to Medellín.
Jonathan Chaim Reus is a transdisciplinary musician known for his use of expanded digital instrumentation in live, theatrical and virtual (online) contexts. Established fields of music, visual arts, and design often struggle to easily define his work, despite it being shown in a diversity of contexts. His music is eclectic, energetic, generally optimistic, sometimes monsterous. He is co-founder of the instrument inventors initiative [iii] in the Hague, and of Netherlands Coding Live [nl_cl], and a recipient of the W. J. Fulbright Fellowship for his research into new electronic music instruments at the former Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music [STEIM] in Amsterdam. jchai.me
Olbos (aka Riccardo Ancona) is a Roman improviser, creative coder, and music researcher based in the Netherlands. He is involved in a set of practices such as live coding, acousmatic music, experimental theater, curatorship and pedagogy of electroacoustic music. After being involved in the Eastern Roman experimental music milieu, he graduated at CREA (Research Centre for Audiovisual Processing) with a thesis on the creative potentialities of live coding. He currently lives in Den Haag, where he is doing a research master at the Institute of Sonology, exploring the perception of sonic materialities in process-based improvisation.
Sabrina Verhage(NL) is an interactive media designer and creative technologist highly fascinated by the influence of modern technology on human behavior. Striving to stimulate diversity and make knowledge more accessible, Sabrina co-founded Creative Coding Amsterdam a monthly meetup for enthusiasts. There she got introduced to the electrifying world of live coding and is excited to now help spread the love by live coding visuals herself. sabrinaverhage.com
