Conductive

13. März 2017, 14.00 Uhr Interface Culture Lecture Room, Domgasse 1, 3.OG

Interface Cultures lädt zum Gastvortrag von Renick Bell im Rahmen der Interface Lectures Series.

Algorithms can be used to quickly produce large volumes of surprising music, andmaking these systems interactive in real-time creates opportunities for improvisationalperformances. Conductive, a Haskell library, is one such tool with a live coding interface. The lecture will introduce the tool itself, its supporting infrastructure, and thehistory of its development. The capabilities of the tool will be demonstrated.
