Artists from across the globe use live coding to provide the audience with ‘ techno-music’ where they can not only enjoy on the beats but can also witness the process of making the beats. The dynamic in real time nature of this music is what makes us unique and stand out from other forms of music. There were 70 in 2019 Algoraves in the last few years. There’ve been Algoraves in over 80 different cities around the world, in countries like Argentina, Mexico, Japan. We had an exchange with Japanese live coders last year between Yorkshire and Tokyo. Some call it a revolution for the tech industry but we the makers and coders of this type of music simply see it as a zone where we can experiment and serve our audiences.
‘Algorave’ is a mash-up of ‘algorithm’ (from computer code) and ‘rave music’—the name pretty much speaks for itself.
It’s geeky yet cool at the same time. For most people, the only type of code involved in clubbing is a dress code. However, it turns out there’s a whole musical subculture based around watching people who love computers and create dance music with live computer coding.
We look forward to seeing you at your nearest Algorave and witness a whole new genre of talent.
I love the concept of Algorave and am planning to go to the next one.
