Slub at the Deershed festival
Deershed is a music festival designed to accommodate families with lots of activities for children. Part of this year’s festival was a Machines Tent, including Lego robot building, Mechano constructions, 3D printing and computer games. Slub’s daily routine in the Machines Tent started by setting up the Al Jazari gamepad livecoding installation, a couple of…

MS Stubnitz Algorave #2
Our second offshore Algorave on the MS Stubnitz, during the ship’s final night in London. The crowd was pleasingly diverse with lots of people new to algorave and livecoding, and although behind the scenes we had some hitches due to the ship’s impending departure for France, the event was relaxed and went smoothly. Our performance…

Algorave practice
It’s been a huge amount of time since I recorded anything, but I thought I would a) try and do some actual livecoding practice for the upcoming algorave on Thursday and b) record everything. As usual I’m following my foolhardy approach of improvising both musical structure and sound material by livecoding synth graphs from scratch.…

slub at /* vivo */
My last /* vivo */ Mexico post, some data from our livecoding performance on the final day. This was one of those performances where we had a rough plan and got a bit too carried away by the crowd to follow it (I guess one of the great things about improvisation!). Also to a great…

Mexican livecoding style
At only around 2 years old, the Mexican livecoding scene is pretty advanced. Here are images of (I think) all of the performances at /*vivo*/ (Simposio Internacional de Música y Código 2012) in Mexico City, which included lots of processing, fluxus, pure data and ATMEL processor bithop along with supercollider and plenty of non-digital techniques…

scheme bricks 2
A new version of scheme bricks is under way, planned to be tested out with slub on the Mozilla Fest Party, then taken across the Atlantic for some more livecoding action in Mexico City! New things include blocks with depth – cosmetic for the moment, but I plan to prototype some new ideas based on…
