Hi all,
This month Ryan Kirkbride will be talking about and demoing FoxDot, a
library for live coding music:
FoxDot is a Python library for interactive programming, specifically for
live coding music. This talk will touch upon the history of live coding,
the algorave movement (where people get together and dance to algorithms -
yes, it's true), and how you can use Python to make your own music.
The FoxDot editor gives users the ability to edit their Python code while
it is being run, allowing them to enter a feedback loop where they can
execute code, listen to the result, then change the code and re-execute it
based on what they hear. Often dubbed "the composer programmer", a live
coder makes the act of composing music a performance practice in itself.
Python's clean syntax and flexibility lends itself to this and FoxDot
allows users to define musical algorithms quickly and easily.
The talk will then culminate in a 10 minute improvised performance that
will demonstrate the wide range of musical capabilities available in the
system.
FoxDot is maintained at https://github.com/Qirky/FoxDot.
**We hope to have time for a workshop for anyone who wants to have a play,
so please bring a laptop if you have one.**
Date and Time
=============
Thursday 9th November, starting around 7.30pm.
We will finish at about 8:45pm, and will be going to `Headrow House`_
afterwards.
Location
========
As usual, we will be meeting at `Futurelabs`_ (`map`_).
| Futurelabs
| 1 Eastgate
| Leeds
| LS2 7LY
From the Futurelabs web site: "If youâre walking, weâre 50 yards from the
back entrance of the Victoria Quarter. Simply look left, walk to the
crossroads and weâre in the building on the opposite corner (above the Gas
Showrooms). Take the door to the left of the Gas Showrooms and our
Reception is on the second floor."
