04/13/2025, 11:55 PMhere's a 45 minute slot of many people editing the same code document at the same time to make music and visuals. four people are there in person, many more are remote - connecting in from around the world. it's all made LIVE, from scratch - during the slot.
i am still shocked that the LIVE programming world is largely oblivious to this sort of thing

04/14/2025, 2:45 PMcould someone explain a little bit about how this is structured? Is it basically 4 terminals each editing their own live audio program? Were they mixed together? Was there an attempt to get a single cohesive song going? Its very cool, but also very chaotic, lol.

04/14/2025, 2:51 PMOH! looking closer I see the different code pads are doing different things - sound, visual,...? Anyway, would still love more details, but it makes more sense now, Thanks for sharing, very cool. I wish I had this back when I was running a coder dojo!

It feels like this is what the live coding scene has been building up to all these years - reminds me of seeing KraftWerk live, jamming and doing the music together

06/08/2025, 9:13 AMThat seems too linear a view of history.. I see it more like a return to live coding's radical origins with fresh energy/ideas/perspectives/contexts etc. But realise that's an old man shouting at clouds kind of thing to say
