How to design a tangible programming language – Pattern Matrix at Algomech (part 2)

Our seminar was called ‘Collaboration and learning…

London Algorave at nnnnn
In order to get ourselves prepared for the Dagstuhl livecoding seminar (more on that later), we kicked off with a London Algorave at nnnnn, Ryan Jordan’s noise research laboratory in deepest Hackney. Slub had one of our better performances, which was recorded – watch this space. *UPDATE* Larger components make larger sounds. Massive synth washes…
