Algorave returns to Birmingham for a special evening of live-coded music and visuals at one of Birmingham’s most beautiful and unique venues: the historic Tearoom at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery!  Algoraves are “algorithmic raves” where artists and musicians use algorithmic tools to create audiovisual code-driven performances. Since starting in 2012, Algoraves have established a large global community that encourages experimentation, active participation in the development of software tools, and, most importantly, creating fun and engaging music and visuals! Enjoy a pre-show museum wander through our Level 2 galleries and grab a drink before settling in to enjoy the show. “The scene at an algorave is often what you’d expect from any good techno night – a dark room, engaging visuals. a decent, bass-heavy speaker set-up, and lots of people ready to dance. .. performers at algoraves respond to each other and the audience in real time, often projecting the lines of code onto the walls as they type. lt’s coding as improvisation and experiment..” — The Wire magazine “Live coders write computer programs live, while the programs generate their music, but the focus is on people dancing and seriously enjoying themselves” — Dazed and Confused “.. not so much a revolution as a de-volution, a rolling back to the backend of music production, where the possibilities of the encoded information inside computer software is open and endless” — Mixmag “… loud, disorientating and brilliant” — The Guardian
