Livecoding
I’ve started reading about livecoders on Wired, who are, by definition, DJs who “improvise using Perl or homemade programming architectures to build compositions from the ground up, replacing instruments and samples with raw code authoring before a live audience.”
You can watch a video clip of a livecoder DJing on YouTube. Does this signal a raver renaissance? Does this mean electronica is back, and edgier (read: geekier) than ever? I want to check it out.
