On Thursday night, May 22, starting early at 20:00, Karlsruhe becomes the small-scale heaven of club-oriented computer music with amazing new rising forces from LA (c_robo_), Berlin (nesso && bruno gola) and Ljubljana (Blaž Pavlica / cosmic sex) with heavy local support: nervousdata (Freiburg), dkyuh and Michele Samarotto.
From over-saturated digital hardcore to heavily chopped samples and voices, from deconstructed a-cyclic beats to the most elegant single sample feedback, all sounds are live-cooked by the CPUs and their beloved masters.
The night will end with 2 dj sets from cicada and dj Mar with abstract club, dnb and dubstep.
It's danceable, it's always danceable, if you feel it.

c_robo_ will present on future avenues for live coding, specifically the exploration of optimized code input and modification methods via text editor scripting.
Blaž will present his current livecoding practice, how he generates rhythmic structures from a single pattern of durations and how he utilizes SuperColliders lazy evaluation to improvise with the structure during performances to make broken beat dance music.
