Poly-temporality Towards anecology of time-oriented live coding

The current paper traces the development of three platforms for poly-temporal live-coding: Canon-Generator, FluentCan and TimeNot. The platforms rely on concepts and ideas developed by the Mexican-American composer Conlon Nancarrow and are based on an ongoing collaboration around sonic experimentation and time. The paper describes how a process of tensions and resistances have become a productive context for research and knowledge production.
