Live coding is a new direction in electronic music and video, and is starting to get somewhere interesting. 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. http://toplap.org/uk/about/ | Live coding is a new direction in electronic music and video, and is starting to get somewhere interesting.
