Hi to all, this is my first post here. I witnessed the slub+nebogeo
live-coding performance at sonar and, honestly, it was the most
interesting thing I saw during the festival (I only attended the day
events though).
I understand your previous comments about code obfuscation, but I also
agree with Dave's early comment about coding from scratch to let the
audience grasp what it's all about. I don't necessarily mean you
should write the synthesis engine on-stage, but I think that some
scripts from scratch would help in this direction.
Still, I don't think the point is that everyone should "understand"
the code as programmers, but instead realize that you are indeed
coding live. I wonder if part of the audience just though it was
merely a conceptual thing to project the text screens...
Anyway, my congratulations to both Dave and Slub. It was a great
performance (here we're still commenting how you dealt with the
situation when the mac running pure-events crashed). The final fork()
was amazing.
Cheers,
