Well I dislike hype and self-promotion too. If that's all this is about (and perhaps it is) we could leave it at that. I think the OP shows a scene with some humility, and I don't think anyone is claiming that live coding is a pan

Here's one example of many I could pick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeNszro5dQ8 I guess by your estimation this is a tiny audience with no musical composition involved. Are you seriously declaring that your own w

Crikey that's glum. Live coding is developing vibrant communities of practice, and finding large audiences.

As the person typing in that video, I can confirm that it is tidal. Actually I am not aware of anyone else getting as far as using tidal in performance yet, hopefully soon. Meta ex have played at a couple of algoraves using overtone. At the

Thanks, it went pretty well although I wasn't expecting to play solo, was supposed to be working with a live drummer but he had troubles finding the venue.

Yes we've been doing it since 2000 ( http://slub.org ), I haven't actually used supercollider in performance though I don't think, I just used it for a perl.com article once. This is not the future of electronic mus

No these comments are still there. It seems vice put their content on different sites, with different sets of facebook comments, so you're probably looking at a different url.

Because titles aren't written by journalists, they're written by sub editors, and so tend to be totally out of step with the rest of the article.

I don't see a need for pessimism there. If speech is text plus prosody, then I see adding a prosodic channel to the programming interface as augmenting/enriching programming languages, not replacing them. I also don't think s

Yes I agree with your implication that improvised performance requires preparation, and interesting to think of this as abstraction. I think of it as developing a personal 'style', which I suppose is abstract. I do like to prepare

Yes his learnable programming is about improving existing programming tools, but he treats that as a diversion, his other stuff seems quite different. His recent talk calls for a break from established norms and a return to the free thinkin

I think this is an insightful distinction, and as you've said before such incremental work could lead to a major shift. But you can't claim Victor for your cause, he is explicitly concerned with reinventing programming, and not in

Yes and good point about abstraction - I was surprised when Mark Guzdial noted that live coders don't do abstraction, but I think that's generally true during live coded music performance. I'd like to work on making abstracti

I think you're mixing up different kinds of feedback, then.. In a REPL, execution feedback can be continuous, not only line-by-line as you said earlier. If we're talking about 'code feedback', in general yes you do just

Ok here's two quotes from you: "Live coding is about programming while the program is actively running" "Live programming [Hancock03] promises for much more fluid feedback between the programmer and a program that is exe

by yaxu 13y ago
That's not true for REPLs which allow interaction with running processes, which is probably most of them.

by yaxu 13y ago
I think you're complaining about someone calling a live programming environment livecoding.io. I think that's nitpicking. The feedback loops are not orthogonal, because programming a running process is rather difficult if not impo

by yaxu 13y ago
In practice the two feedback loops are generally complementary, and I don't see a real need to nitpick or claim ownership of general terms.

I'm not clear on your point (the video shows music improvisation, not DJing), but "soundactic sugar" is fantastic.

I think it looks quite nice. I was looking for more about what you'd actually learned, rather than a list of projects though.
