Live coding with Adapt

Despite the enormous creative potential, most of the recent developments in live coding are based on the idea of the sequencer and the drum machine where events are associated to notes as discrete moments in a parametric space.

This performance challenges this convention by using the Adapt sound engine, in which modules defining sound processes combine themselves in a network of influences, creating evolving sound morphologies. In this way, the machine gains a degree of autonomy by listening to its own output and analyzing the current configuration of the routings between these modules. The performer continuously interacts with this evolving system, trying to manage its behavior over time by altering the structure while discovering new possibilities and configurations.
