on the day of the event and the following day (23. + 24. May) we also host a workshop by Lil Data. If you're interested, sign up soon as the spots are quite limited! :)

i'm helping to organise an event at @kv_r on the 23rd of may. there will be big networked laptop orchestra live coding minimalist music, followed by some hyperpop concerts, including a set by Lil Data! At the end will be DJ sets until around 3am. please come by and bring some friends!

giving the first ever workshop for my little language zwirn soon! come by if you're in vienna and let's have some fun 🙌

Looking back at the exquisite corpses we created at my workshop during ICLC25. They're really great, here is one:

The problem with algorave is that I never know how to get real or stay invisible. Nobody in the end will care if you went with apples. It's raining inside, everywhere we will find little berries. Do not eat them! They are gifts for the phantoms that inhabit the biggest fear. Do whatever, it does not need to always be that way, so difficult and painful. I guess we could just try not to do anything for a while and see where it takes us. Everybody should do the same.

Created together with @bubobubo, @th4, @cappelnord, @TodePond, @archaictech, @sule_hard_capsule

currently preparing a little presentation on the (pre-)history of livecoding for the TOPLAP Seoul and for the first time came across this excellent text (https://zenodo.org/records/7139247) from 2004, written just a few months after the changing grammars symposium. What i especially like is the general feel and tone of the writing and i have to say i miss that from the more recent (and more academic) writings on livecoding

live coding & improvised music today at central garden vienna. 🎵🎵
18:00-22:00, come by!

if anyone is in vienna tomorrow, i'm organising an open live coding meetup/workshop/jam as part of the angewandte festival, come by!!

helloooo,
i haven't made an introduction post yet, so i guess that is the first thing to do!

i'm martin, also know as polymorphic engine. i got into live coding after a friend told me about algorave on a beautiful hike in 2019. i really got into tidal (thanks yaxu!) and was studying logic & computation at the time, so i took some haskell courses, which allowed me to contribute. i did a haskell summer of code with alex, basically about making a fully packaged tidal that doesn't require haskell to be installed. after some successes, i got quite stuck and it's still pretty much an open problem (maybe not so important anymore since there are excellent installers now?).

after finishing my studies, i did a really awesome erasmus internship with Julian Rohrhuber, developer of the og JITlib and SuperDirt. during that time we started working on a supercollider version of tidal, with a slightly different representation of time (think crystals and refractions!). out of this came an implementation of the eso&uzulang zwirn, where every expression of the language is a signal, which allows you to *pattern everything*!! (more about zwirn hopefully soon :) )

now i started another master's degree in experimental game cultures at the university of applied arts here in vienna. here, i'm mostly researching into relationships between live coding and games.
