Algorave Concert - Alexandra Cárdenas

Описание: In April 2023, Alexandra Cárdenas performed a live-coded #Algorave concert on the 42 Berlin campus in Neukölln.

Algorave is a beautiful example of creative coding, bringing art and code together for an algorithmic audio and visual experience.

Alexandra Cárdenas is a composer, programmer, and improviser of music born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1976. She studied composition at the Universidad de Los Andes. Her works have been played in diverse venues in America, Europe, and Asia. In 2003 she obtained an Artistic Residency at the Centro Nacional de las Artes (CNA) in Mexico City. In 2010 she was part of the program Prácticas de Vuelo at the Centro Mexicano para la Música y las Artes Sonoras (CMMAS). In 2011 she was granted an Artistic Residency at the Tokyo Wonder Site in Japan, where she wrote a piece for Nanae Yoshimura (koto), Suzuki Toshiya (flute) and live electronics. In the recent years, she has traveled the world performing and teaching live coding as a new performative practice for music that connects diverse social, political and artistic fields. Using open source software like SuperCollider and TidalCycles, her work is focused on the exploration of the musicality of code and the algorithmic behaviour of music. An important part of this exploration consists of the practice of live coding. Having an intense activity as teacher and performer of live coding, Alexandra is among the pioneers of live coding in electroacoustic music and part of the forefront of the Algorave scene. Currently, she lives in Berlin, Germany, where she completed her Masters in Sound Studies at the Berlin University of the Arts.
