For a long time computer musicians have been trying to hide the computation in their music, and we're celebrating it.
Live coding is a new direction in electronic music and video: live coders expose and rewire the innards of software while it generates improvised music and/or visuals. All code manipulation is projected for your pleasure. TOPLAP exists to promote it.
Introductory videos
The best introduction to live coding is to watch some. Show us your screens is the most recent documentary, featuring interviews with several live coders and live footage.
For more see the list of videos, articles and academic papers
Discussion
You are most welcome to join our mailing list, where we discuss live coding, share experiences and advertise events over email. You may also ask questions here on the wiki.
