Live Coding is a technique of audiovisual improvisation/composition in real time where programming languages are used to produce the performance and also the process is open and shared with the public, in such a way that the production tool is aesthetically absorbed by the content of the live act.
In this workshop we will address an introduction to Live Coding for sound projects with Hybrida, a browser-based platform for live coding visuals that allows each connected browser/device/person to output a video signal or stream and receive and modify streams from other browsers/devices/people. The API is inspired by analog modular synthesis, in which multiple visual sources (oscillators, cameras, application windows, other connected windows) can be transformed, modulated, and composited via combining sequences of functions. Distributed networks, feedback, collaboration, and chaos in live performance/on the internet.
