Hey all, excited to be running an event series of people pushing algorithmic music forward, in collab with No Bounds festival. The first edition is tomorrow (Saturday 13th Feb) from 9pm UTC (click the vid to get local time), featuring AFALFL (Paris), Chiho Oka (Tokyo) and Kindohm (Minnesota). You'll be able to catch it live + probably on catchup here:

It's true that dancing and reading code don't go well together. Neither does dancing and watching someone's turntable or guitar technique or whatever. At some point you stop reading it but it's still nice to know that you can have a look at the musician making music if you fancy. That said, some of my favourite gigs I've not projected, but often people can still look over my shoulder.. and given the opportunity some generally do.. (Also if it wasn't a stupid idea we wouldn't have called it "algorave")

I'm trying to record something every day this month:

I'm terrible at getting around to recording tracks so am probably the worst person to ask ! 'ur' is good for macro song structure though I think, rather than sequencing patterns on/off (as with seqP/seqPLook), you make a pattern of patterns, which seems more tidal-ish. I find making some patterns and then jamming with them more productive though. You can't share the who track as code then, though.

Yes start / stop still needs fixing since tidal 1.0 happened..

If you want to apply functions to e.g. only the bd events in a pattern, you can use fix https://tidalcycles.org/index.php/fix d1 $ fix (fast 2) (s "bd") $ n "0 3 2 1" # s "bd sn" ... should make the bds go faster A warning though, for some reason fix uses a lot of cpu, you can't get away with using many at once. You can use gain to control midi velocity, but the scaling of it is wrong.. Looks like there's a workaround here https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt/issues/120

Nice one! Growing activity in France: https://www.algorave.fr/

Hm, I'm on linux mint and the stock ghc haskell there works fine. I'd have thought 4G should be enough for stack, though..

Heh, nice to stumble on this old thread, glad you're having fun with tidal!

Erp, good luck! The #tidal channel on the toplap slack is a good place for quick help There's a link from here: http://tidalcycles.org/community.html

I made TidalCycles with some friends, a live coding environment for generating pattern. It's free/open source + cross platform, and for the latest release (0.8) we concentrated on making it easier to install. Here's some videos of it in use: https://archive.org/details/14Performance-SharedBufferXA.CardenasA.McLeanDavidOgbornE.Tsabary more here: http://tidalcycles.org/videos.html would be great to know what you think cheers
