Connected Creativity Algorave

Ben Swift

An experimental night of music, code, and machines, with *live performances* by humans in the middle of it all. There will  be bangers.

Ainslie Arts Centre

ALL AGES GIG.These days just about all electronic music is made using computers, but withartificial barriers between the people creating the software algorithms and thepeople making the music. Using systems built for creating algorithmic music andvisuals, such as Pd/puredata, Max/MSP, SuperCollider, Extempore, TidalCycles,Gibber, Sonic Pi, FoxDot, hydra, p5.js, Cyril and more, these barriers arebroken down, and musicians are able to compose and work live with their music asalgorithms. This has good and bad sides, but a different approach leads tointeresting places.This is no new idea, but Algoraves focus on humans making and dancing to music.Algorave musicians don’t pretend their software is being creative, they takeresponsibility for the music they make, shaping it using whatever means theyhave. More importantly the focus is not on what the musician is doing, but onthe music, and people dancing to it. Algoraves embrace the alien sounds of ravesfrom the past, and introduce alien, futuristic rhythms and beats made throughstrange, algorithm-aided processes. It’s up to the good people on the dancefloorto help the musicians make sense of this and do the real creative work in makinga great party.For more info (including line-up), see the <a href="http://www.ozchi.org/2022/creativity.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">OzCHI website</a>.
