Algorave

"An algorave is an event where people dance to music generated from algorithms, often using live coding techniques. Algoraves can include a range of styles, including a complex form of minimal techno, jungle, house, and hardstyle, and the movement has been described as a meeting point of hacker philosophy, geek culture, and clubbing."

A one-off, outdoor event showcasing a new field of live, electronic music making – using code to generate and manipulate melodies and beats.

Through a series of workshops at Signal, Sound School has introduced young artists to the world of the algorave, using code to generate beat driven music. Working with Alison Walker, participants have learned how to use algorithms to create and manipulate melodies and beats.

Now, as part of Melbourne Music Week, we take live coding to the rave outside the computer lab in a one off, outdoor event, giving audiences a rare opportunity to experience this new field of music-making.
