#Supercollider live coding software

Free and open source software for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Architectureedit Starting with version 3, the SuperCollider environment has been split into two components: a server, scsynth and a client, sclang. Originally released under the terms of the GPL-2.0-or-laterin 2002, and from version 3.4 under GPL-3.0-or-later, SuperCollider is free and open-source software. Instead, I let things flow a lot more freely than I’m used to. SuperCollider A platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists and researchers working with sound. It is a dynamic programming languageproviding a framework for acoustic research, algorithmic music, interactive programmingand live coding. Be introduced to sound and synthesis with Supercollider, which is an open-source environment for algorithmic composition and a programming language. Also, I deliberately (I wasn’t lazy I swear) prepared very little beforehand so I wouldn’t have too many expectations of what I wanted to do. I had to be much more restrained with what I could do and how fast I could do it, because I had to scroll around in the code, instead of the more tactile feel of the knobs on the modular. But I’m really positively surprised to what kind of musical output this lead.

Safe to say that splitting my brain between writing the code and playing the piano is a, let’s say unique challenge. I’ve done a live-streamed event in the spring of 2020 (also for Toplap, also live coding) but not with the piano before. The live-streaming thing on the other hand is something completely new for me. Although I’ve always been improvising on the piano a lot, maybe so much that I didn’t even realize that it might be something worth presenting or releasing in some way. It was really fun unearthing this old project which was in many ways the starting point for the whole idea of pairing the piano with some sort of digital or analogue processing and a more „live” or improvised approach that what I had been doing before, which was mainly producing with a very detailed and not live or improvised approach in front of a screen mostly. I've been writing programs in SuperCollider for quite a while now and this project dates all the way back to 2017 before I had my eurorack system (or my studio for that matter).

I'm performing and writing the high level code for an algorithmic looper system and a granular delay that I wrote. This is a recording of a live-stream I did for Toplaps 'Transnodal' event in february 2021.
