The usual categorisations of music don’t work, howabout:

Classical music = music practices which are no longer changing
Contemporary music = music practices which recently changed/are changing
Traditional music = music practices which have a long history of change
I got my paper “Algorithmic Pattern” accepted for the mighty @NIME2020! The conference will be online only, which is great - hopefully that’ll set a trend beyond pandemic. Here’s the submitted draft, feedback welcome. https://t.co/O9elX1Lu74

I’ve set myself the challenge to:
— Alex McLean (@yaxu) June 24, 2018
* teach tidal to 8 year olds, in groups of 8
* then record an ‘algorithmic drumming circle’ performance with the 8 children live coding together
* all teaching and performing inside ONE HOUR with each group
* six groups, over the next two days..
“Texture v.2 is getting interesting now, reminds me of fabric travelling around a loom. Everything apart from the DSP is implemented in Haskell. The functional approach has worked out particularly well for this visualisation — because musical patterns are represented as functions from time to events (using my Tidal EDSL), it’s trivial to get at future events across the graph of combinators. Still much more to do though.”

Sound Choreography Body Code is a performance collaboration between choreographer and performer Kate Sicchio, and researcher and live coder Alex McLean. The work creates a feedback loop through code, music, choreography, dance and back through code. We spoke with Kate and Alex to ask them about the work, and the thinking behind such a multimedia, multi-disciplinary piece.
