Algorithmic drumming circle – Workshops – with Alex McLean
TidalCycles is a live coding environment often seen at Algoraves, focussing on the algorithmic manipulation of patterns. In this 40 minute hands-on, workshop, you’ll join 7 others in having a quick introduction to Tidal, explore some of the simple ways you can sequence rhythms, and try out a few functions for patterning those rhythms. We’ll then try some low-pressure algorithmic drumming circles, where we play algorithmic patterns together. The workshop will be lead by Alex McLean, an instigator of both TidalCycles and the Algorave movement.
Suitable for absolute beginners and up. All equipment will be provided.
Part of No Bounds Festival 2018.

Saturday, 20th October 2018, 7-8.30pm, Access Space
In Korea there is an interesting culture of dealing with dreams. People who have had good dreams for example, such as one involving a pig which traditionally alludes to the arrival of wealth, can actually sell their dream to someone else. Any dream which has a positive interpretation has a value that makes it a desirable asset for someone else to acquire. Koreans buy and sell dreams for fun. Bongsu Park is going to make this transaction of an intangible asset more external and organized in the form of a public auction.
Bongsu Park will be performing with a live sound track by Ryoko Akama and Charlie Collins
Tickets: £5 on the door
