»ARquatic« von CodeKlavier ist ein Audio- und Augmented-Reality-Erlebnis, bei dem aus Live-Musik Fantasiepflanzen entstehen, die sich vor den Augen der Zuschauer:innen entfalten. Das sogenannte CodeKlavier ermöglicht es der niederländischen Pianistin Anne Veinberg durch ihr Spiel zu programmieren. Gemeinsam mit Felipe Ignacio Noriega und Patrick Borgeat (HfM Karlsruhe) entwickelte sie das Stück »ARquatic«, mit dem der Konzertabend beginnt.

Um die Visuals in Augmented Reality zu erleben, laden Sie bitte die ARquatic-App aus dem Apple App Store oder Google Play Store herunter. Am Tag der Aufführung werden Sie dort sowohl einen Live- als auch einen Stream-Kanal finden. Bitte verbinden Sie sich mit dem Stream-Kanal, wenn Sie den Stream von zu Hause aus ansehen.

Kıvanç Tatar lädt das Publikum mit »Coding the Latent No.1« in eine ‚glitchige‘ und laute Welt von KI-synthetisierten Klängen ein, die auf 47 Lautsprecher verteilt werden. In seiner Live-Performance verknüpft er Live-Coding mit auf Künstlicher Intelligenz basierender Audiogenerierung.

Die Komposition »Brief Intro to Piano is Forte Memory« geht auf eine Kindheitserinnerung des slowenischen Live-Coders Luka Prinčič zurück. Das Stück, das im Rahmen des Konzerts Premiere feiert, ist ein live gecodetes, teilweise improvisiertes Stück, das an die geschützten Räume der Kindheit und das darin empfundene Vertrauen erinnert.

»Modulating Spaces« ist eine live codierte räumliche Audioperformance von Blaž Pavlika.

Raumklang eröffnet eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten mit Klang als physischem Medium zu arbeiten. Live-Coding ermöglicht es wiederum, das Medium ‚on-the-fly‘ situativ zu formen. Es entsteht ein virtueller sphärischer Klangraum, der mit jeder Performance immer wieder neu gestaltet wird.

Für das Projekt »autoconstruccion« erforschen CNDSD & Iván Abreu den architektonischen Begriff der Autokonstruktion und verwenden dafür maschinelle Lernprozesse. Dies resultiert in der geradezu kinematografischen Gestaltung einer dreidimensionalen virtuellen Umgebung, die an eine musikalische Erzählung gekoppelt ist.

Das Konzert endet mit der Präsentation »Necrobiopsi«, einem Biokunstprojekt, das neue Erzählungen an der Schnittstelle von Kunst und Wissenschaft entwickelt. Vor dem Hintergrund der Veränderung des Planeten betrachtet Gaia Leandra die für das menschliche Auge unsichtbare Welt der Kleinstorganismen und sinniert über ein Zeitalter nach dem Menschen.

My personal style of live coding is:
The works I have made that involve live coding are mostly conceptual, exploring the nature of live coding or connections of live coding with other practices. Examples are »Code LiveCoding Live«, where I use live coding to sonify the side-effects of live coding, »Etudes pour le Livecoding à une Main«, where I explore live coding with one-handed keyboard based on a script of a live coding performance from the past, and »The Machine is Learning«, where I use an extremely simple gestural live coding language to highlight the labour involved in machine learning.
 
This is what I love about the live coding community:
I love the activist style (manifestos!), and the openness and diversity in the community.

For me the »on-the-fly« project:
The »on-the-fly« project is an interesting project bringing together the state-of-the-art live coding community and practices across Europe, giving opportunities to emerging live coders!

I am traveling to ZKM | Karlsruhe from:
Barcelona

My signature in live coding is:
to keep it simple I think. I enjoy to create musical structures and atmospheres through code.

This is what I love about the live coding community:
Sharing knowledge, and although we perform separately and using different tools, we grow up and learn from each others.

For me the »on-the-fly« project:
is a space for practice, reflection, research and discovery of live coding. 

I am traveling to ZKM | Karlsruhe from:
Verona, Italy, but I am based in Berlin.

My personal style of live coding is:
Devoted to exploring different emotions, ways of coding, sound worlds – a journey through textures on board a live coded vessel. 

This is what I love about the live coding community:
It has created a safe space in which I have flourished and continue to thrive. It offers alternative ways to create and brings back the communal purpose of art.  

For me, the »on-the-fly« project:
It's a beautiful opportunity to connect the live coding community with specific institutions that are open to our alternative way of creation. In this way, both institutions and the live coding community can exchange knowledge and ideas based on inclusion, diversity, and togetherness.

Berlin, Germany

My signature in live coding is: 
video feedback, toolmaking

This is what I love about the live coding community:
Welcoming to beginners 

For me the on-the-fly project: 
has been an amazing support to independent artists and researchers working with live coding

I am traveling to ZKM | Karlsruhe from:
Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

My signature in live coding is:
noisy synths, wonky beats and disruptive algorithms.

This is what I love about the live coding community:
the super inclusive community and the spirit of everyone learning together through and with the code.

For me the »on-the-fly« project:
is helping to bring the european live coding community together.

I am traveling to ZKM | Karlsruhe from:
Barcelona

My personal style of live coding is:
I play using the »SuperCollider« programming language, where I develop the functions / algorithms that I use. I enjoy playing from scratch, a.k.a starting from a white screen. I'm currently exploring machine learning possibilities within live coding focusing on the real time human-algorithm feedback.

This is what I love about the live coding community:
Live coding could hardly be understood without the community; Sharing, spaces, code and ideas, is at the live coding core definition. 

For me the »on-the-fly« project:
It is the possibility of exchanging between communities and forming open spaces to explore live coding.

My personal style of live coding is:
My visuals tend to start very minimal, with only a few visual elements on screen. It then gradually builds up to a chaotic glitchy texture that aims to capture the general feeling of the music rather than react to it.
 
This is what I love about the live coding community:
The live coding community has been very welcoming and very inspiring, allowing me to learn at a steady pace and encouraging me to try new
techniques and software. They're open to new ideas and new ways of working.
 
For me the »on-the-fly« project:
A brilliant opportunity to learn and co-create with talent from across the globe.

I am traveling to ZKM | Karlsruhe from: 
Gothenburg, Sweden

My signature in live coding is: 
Using live coding; 1- as a method to explore latent audio spaces, 2- for procedural audio generation with ML and AI. 

This is what I love about the live coding community: 
I love that live coding community encourages open source technology and open-access knowledge. 

For me the on-the-fly project: 
Is an opportunity to interact with live coding communities in Europe, and a challenge to integrate my research in raw audio synthesis with Deep Learning to live performances. 

I am traveling to ZKM | Karlsruhe from:
Sheffield, UK.

My personal style of live coding is based on a DIY approach of researching for self-built sketchbooks, mostly in »SuperCollider«, allowing for algorithmic explorations biased towards sound-based music, atonal frequencies, and noise ambiences.

This is what I love about the live coding community:
Its cooperative, creative, democratic, inclusive, innovative, passionate, and unique spirit and vision of finding new ways of creative expression and collective organisation.

For me the »on-the-fly« project is a new platform and opportunity for investigating the practice of live coding focusing on community building, sharing knowledge, and drawing the future of live coding.
