From a few mths ago but just released now: the Cybernetic Orchestra's 24 April improvisation from a concert in the Networked Imagination Laboratory. The performance features samples (provided by Carmela Laganse) recorded from a traditional Kulingtang set and cast bronze gongs...

Locomotion by the team at @nil_mcmaster and VCU kinetic Imaging is a fun language to move to Thanks for the shout out @sableRaph
The #WCCChallenge is a not so serious coding challenge for creative coders and generative artists. I review your submissions live every Sunday at 5pm CEST on twitch.tv/sableraph Featured below: @IllestPreacha

First paper in quite a while about the Estuary live coding platform this week (it's always more fun to hack the code than write the prose...) at #wac2022 @WebAudioConf today - thanks to all contributors - proceedings available for your reading pleasure! doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.67673…

The WebDirt sampling engine is now available as a packed ES6 library and as a PureScript library - examples of both usages in two README's at the repository: github.com/dktr0/WebDirt

Time certainly flies... Anyway, I'm very glad this has been as useful as it has been, and for the musical friendships that have been launched/developed/continued with it!
Happy fifth birthday to @_dktr0 ‘s WebDirt port of the SuperDirt sound engine! Estuary has truly made the world a better place for us @tidalcycles folks. This is the first instance I had heard of something like this youtu.be/oLnD5ag8FjQ wonder if there is more

A recent Interview with @sicchio and I about the awesome new project we (with a wonderful team of research assistants) have been working on, funded by an NFRF Exploration grant...
Agile, evocative and tremendously creative: Welcome to the intersection of choreo and live coding. Prof. David Ogborn from @mcmasterhum is working to create a language meant for live coding that will produce 3D avatars that dance. ow.ly/zlqb50IyR7x

Love it when hacking on nitty gritty issues leads to bigger payoff... here's live coding languages Hydra (thanks @_ojack_!) Punctual used together in Estuary courtesy of bug fixes in Punctual's transparency (thanks @graybasstech for awesome bug reports)! youtube.com/watch?v=5cvC-7V5…
