Live Coding (2015)

This work is algorithmic, procedural techno with a twist of acid house. Norah Lorway will perform a live coding Algorave set that is similar to her recent raves in Belgium, Slovenia, and the U.K. amongst others. The performance will feature live coding techno and acid house in SuperCollider and Fluxus.
