MS Stubnitz Algorave #2

Our second offshore Algorave on the MS Stubnitz, during the ship’s final night in London. The crowd was pleasingly diverse with lots of people new to algorave and livecoding, and although behind the scenes we had some hitches due to the ship’s impending departure for France, the event was relaxed and went smoothly. Our performance was honoured by guest appearance from Elvi$ Ca$h as well as a re-compile of the Al Jazari rave bots. As one of those spending the night on the ship afterwards, I had to be careful not to have too much of a lie in!

Shelly and some Mandelbrots, transmitting multi-layered synthetic tones with Davide Della Casa in the foreground operating livecodelab who, with Guy John live coded inspiring minimalist geometric expressions to match the music throughout the night.

Better, and considerably wider angle photos can be found here by Yoshizen.
