Meetup Thursday 9th November - Programming Music for Performance: Live Coding With FoxDot

[Matt Goodall]

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.**

I'm sure this will get mentioned on Thursday but for people who can't make wypy (myself included sadly, it looks great), all sorts of interesting art-music-software-hardware stuff in Sheffield over the weekend: http://algomech.com/2017/

Great.

Last month I believed I offered to raid the DataShed beer fridge (we're just around the corner) and bring some drinks along. Is that still okay? If so how many? 

Python, Music, Beer, Dance, good night

This all sounds great but I'm not going to make it this month as I'm travelling for a conference.  Just wanted to say THANKS for helping me rehearse for PyCon UK, I think the talks went over all right and I had a ball at the event itself :)

Hi Mark, sorry forgot to respond to this kind offer 

No idea about numbers I'm afraid! Feel free to bring some, we can always take them back afterwards?

[Mark Pybus]

will do!
