Live Coding a Chorale of Sounds Using MIRLCa: State of Affairs and Implications

  • 1. ROR icon Queen Mary University of London

Description

In this paper, I introduce the state of affairs of the development of MIRLCa, a self-built tool in SuperCollider. The ongoing SC extension is a user-friendly live coding environment that allows the live coder to query crowdsourced sounds from the Freesound online database using MIR techniques together with interactive machine learning based on the FluCoMa library. This results in a crafted sound-based music style governed by a diverse chorale of sounds that the live coder attempts to tame. Both technical developments and artistic outcomes of using the tool are presented.
