Noisefloor 2017: Ryan Kirkbride – Control and Return: A Live Coding Improvisation

Ryan Kirkbride – Control and Return: A Live Coding Improvisation   / qirky   In its most simple sense, Live Coding is making music with programming languages but in actuality it’s a cross-disciplinary practice that blurs the line between composer and performer. I construct, destruct, and reconstruct musical algorithms in front of audiences and expose my screen to them using a projector. I use a form of object-oriented programming to define classes that hold states and schedule sonic events which go on to evolve and devolve over time. As an improvised process, the flavour of my music will range from ambient to noise to beat-driven techno but it is the method that makes what I do intoxicating. The performance could be described as improvised composition that incorporates an immediacy in its feedback loop between code and sound where the journey is much more important than the destination. Ryan is a postgraduate research student at the University of Leeds. His background is in Computer Science but has recently been combining this with his interest in music through live coding and algorithmic composition. He began work on his Python-driven Live Coding environment, FoxDot, in 2015 and has since performed with it internationally and recently presented it at the International Conference on Live Interfaces and the International Conference on Live Coding. His university research is practice-based with a focus on nonverbal communication in collaborative performances.
