Hallo an alle,
diesen Donnerstag, den 30.4. veranstalten wir um 18 Uhr einen Toplap x Haecksen x Entropia Workshop im @entropia.
Heavy Lifting (Lucy Cheesman) + Yaxu (Alex McLean) werden euch zeigen, wie sie TidalCycle (Musikerstellungssoftware) verwenden. Im Anschluss wird es einen kleinen Algorave geben.
Eingeladen sind dieses mal alle interessierten (nicht nur Haecksen). Wir treffen uns aber in der üblichen Runde und freuen uns auf euch.

the "new generation" or version 2 of Toplap Manifesto - a 2023 version - that was started by Marije Baalman (@nescivi ) has been deleted from disroot's etherpad due to inactivity. i wonder if my recording of its version history is now the only record of it? somebody saved it?

\sum_{mind} (i.e. sum of minds, pronounced "sum over mind"), an experimental 20-minute set written in TidalCycles, a live-coding environment.
Written for, performed, and recorded live at Elektromagnetni Eksoni, a music and visual live-coding event hosted in Ljubljana, organized by toplap.si, a Slovene live-coding collective.

SORGENTE scaturirà a ottobre 2025 presso Art Lab, nella ridente città di #parma . L'idea è quella di esplorare collettivamente la filosofia e la pratica del #livecoding in linea con i principi e le linee guida di #toplap .
- Accesso libero, gratuito e aperto a tutti;
- Software altrettanto libero, #opensource ;
- Nessun prerequisito tecnico o culturale;
- Fai quello che vuoi.Alle sessioni di studio e sperimentazione seguiranno bei momenti di dimostrazione e celebrazione. VIENI L'UNDICI.

The #WeekEndJam adjusts for Daylight Savings time!
Now running at UTC 1900h instead of UTC 2000h - hopefully if you weren't able to come and jam previously this might make it easier!Everyone is welcome, come along and have some fun 😁
(Announcements go out on the #strudel #tidal #toplap #hydra #mercury #estuary etc discords each week)Bonus banger #livecoding jam from today featuring @lanegramvp @mot4i lilbleep nairobiny and @cleary

ALPACA 2025 / Watch Party in Clubraum 19-20. Sept 2025
servus clubraum, Friday, September 19 at 11:30 AM GMT+2
Join us on September 19th and 20th in STWST for the watch party for Alpaca 2025 - algorithmic patterns in the creative arts!
Where: Servus Lecture Room, Stadtwerkstatt, Kirchengasse, LinzAlpaca conference will feature 35 speakers and workshop leaders exploring algorithmic patterns in the creative arts, showcasing pattern-based work across music, textiles, dance and more.
Patterns are a kind of heritage algorithm, and so we will showcase both heritage and digital arts and crafts together. Despite the inclusion of contemporary digital arts, our focus will be fully on hands-on, human creativity and not artificial intelligence.The event will showcase work across disciplines, featuring diverse talks, workshops, and performances exploring how we can explore beyond our imaginations through pattern-making.
The conference will take place over two weekends. You will be able to join all talks online.The first weekend will focus on talks hosted in Sheffield UK, as part of the Alpaca Festival programme based there.
The second weekend will focus on on-line talks, with ‘watch parties’ in Berlin, Barcelona, Linz and Sheffield.19 September (Europe/Vienna time): 1:30 p.m.–6:00 p.m.

"I threw together a rough quick funny Thingee that’s a livecode editor and VJ instrument — both at the same time. You type the code on the screen, and it actually executes the code as you type it, but all the visuals are made of the onscreen code too, though I’m experimenting with including the ability to pull in the whole desktop sometimes as well. It generously abuses the concept of feedback; in this case, the whole thing’s a feedback loop anyway. This is somehow reassuring because the concept of video feedback in digital VJ tools always disturbs me a little — since computers have no optics they can’t “see” their own output as did the original video feedback with cameras. I lie awake nights worrying about this."
