During the meeting to coordinate the upcoming 3.14 release, we decided that it would be great to have an online community event where people could share how they use SuperCollider in their practice - something like an online party to celebrate the release!
The basic idea is to hand out 20-minute performance slots as live video streams.
Although this is a common playground for live coding performances, it would be great to see a variety of performances, such as non-sound-related performances, lecture (performances), demonstrations of non-standard applications of SuperCollider, some interesting compositions, improvisation etc…
The only condition is that the performance uses or is related to SuperCollider in some way - so people who use e.g. Tidal Cycles are also welcomed to the party!
You are also invited to try out the new 3.14 release via the pre-release (see 3.14.0-rc1 announcement) and use its new features within the performance (see News in 3.14 | SuperCollider 3.14.0-rc1 Help).
The only thing we need is a date when this will happen; and for this we want to ask the community!
Deadline for this poll will be 2025-06-27T09:00:00Z and multiple choices are possible.
- 2025-07-05
- 2025-07-12
- 2025-07-19
- 2025-07-26
Once a date has been settled the date will be announced via this thread and also the procedure of how people can apply for a performance slot will be announced.
Based on the feedback/interaction with this poll we will decide how long this event goes - so make sure to vote if you want to have a party!
I am in talks with the nice people from toplap and they will probably provide their streaming and streaming-organization platform so we don’t have to rely on YouTube etc. for this event. Many thanks for this support already, consider donating to them via TOPLAP - Open Collective!
The Code of Conduct applies to this event.
