Drop function – executed simultaneously for all 4 players.
\nThey have done blank slate live coding in many environments. They also use live coding as a compositional method, so do some shows where they just use a code interface developed in rehearsals.
\nDelbrots and the Man also develop code live during rehearsals and use that as an interface for performance. They sync with the drummer via click track and send their chat window to him via a text-to-speech synthesiser.
\nIf they want the audience to dance, they start with prepared stuff. They also try to think of the arc of the whole evening. In rehearsals, they would pick a random genre from Id3 tags.<\/p>\n
Live code does not represent a score. code consists of algorithms which are specific, but a a score is interpretable in different ways. Also the text document generated by live coding it not an adequate artefact to repeat a performance
\nCode allows for de-heirarchicalisation of all musical parameters. Traditional composition focusses on pitch and duration, but improv allows focus on other parts. Live coding emphasises this further.
\nComposition creates a text – an artefact designed to enable people to create sound. It is prepared and worked out. Live coding does not necessarily generate a written composition. However, in the 21st century, improv and composition are not binary oppositions, something which also applied to live coding.<\/p>\n
Did they publish the silent movie with their sound track? Not yet, because they’re not sure about copyright.
\nwhat’s next for the Mandelbrots? Will they make a ton of recordings? Recordings do no change their approach. They only record only their rehearsals.
\ndo they program differently when they’re recording? No, they’ve gotten used to just recording all their rehearsals.
\nWill they edit their recordings? Unsure.
\nWill an audience expect them to sound like their records? They can’t know yet.
\nDo they put performances online? They’ve done that twice. Once to Mexico<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
