Algorave

MS Stubnitz, London - Thursday 18th April 2013 Trailblazing generative music phenomenon Algorave concludes the first round of The Transceiver Series onboard visiting culture ship MS Stubnitz. Dance away your preconceptions about electronic music, as they compose the soundtrack to a good night out using real time algorithms. Algoraves are parties where computer algorithms are involved in music production. Algorithms have long been used in music, famously by Mozart, !arlheinz Stockhausen, "ohn #age and more recently by Autechre. Algorave parties follow this line but put the attention back on the audience, where alien sounds of rave music are augmented with the alien structures of algorithmic composition, and the audience finds new ways to en$oy and dance to the music. The Algorave community is international and fast growing, and this event bring together emerging artists from Me%ico, Sydney and &ewport 'agnell. Mico (e% fuse together punk acid with e%uberant vocals fresh from the fandangos of Me%ico #ity. )ee !ing develops his drill n* bass sound from his (ephle% classic +Super,ser-, combining live coding with live drumpad drilling. This list of innovators goes on. Andrew Sorensen massages his live algorithms into algorithmic trance, slub producing their trademark dirty, pure functional gabber techno, Sick /incoln performing dynamical datapop with algoravethms to make your mind and body spin, &orah /orway developing her lush ambience into pounding procedural glitch, /uuma manipulating multiple devices and interfaces to make industrial dystopian darkfloor, 0ernani introducing acousmatic music into aleotoric percussion, and Section 1 live coding house which is both progressive and recursive. All of these performers will make their algorithmic instruments and languages as visible as possible, but the point isn*t to understand the algorithm, but to understand the music. to reclaim technology for the people and to en$oy it together. #old 2ar relic and culture ark MS Stubnitz is visiting /ondon until mid May. 2hile here e%pect to see a wealth of eclectic events from kinetic arts and film to interactive theatre. Many more to be announced soon3 Algorave is presented as a part of the Transceiver Series, a showcase of innovations from the new frontiers of technology and music. The Transceiver Series is curated by Aste Amundsen of the wearable technology performance group Sonic Sideshow. Algorave is a fast growing community with an e%iting itinerary of international events coming up this year including events in 4ermany, 0olland and Australia more on their ongoing activities here.
