How did you hear about that? I had that idea and talked to a couple of people about that. Interesting how fast the word is spreading.
So yeah, would be great to bring livecoding to the city. Other than some performances at Kontor80 or Renick Bell at Pracht, I’ve never seen any livecoding shows here. Though I heard that the WUEST collective in Halle/Saale (instagram: @wuest_halle) once booked a livecoding act for one of their events.
I think someone I know was there and posted it on Instagram or something haha.
Seems like there are a few different trends:
People in Berlin
People in Leipzig
People elsewhere
Might be worth trying to get regular meetups going for Leipzig + Berlin and also something DE-wide a few times a year - are people interested in / motivated for this?
I’ll start a separate thread to brainstorm a Berlin+Leipzig meetup. I think there’s plenty of interest, probably the only challenge is organizing a space - I think most organizations are (very justifiably) cautious about hosting things right now, but I have a few ideas on that front…
FWIW, there’s also a new round of online SuperCollider meetups that will be scheduled in the coming days, will announce very soon!
thanks for the initiative! I’m definitely down for participating - or even setting up events and/or meetings.
in a similar vein, where do you think would be a good place to brainstorm and connect regarding the Algorave birthday in March and setting up local events? should we do that in the TOPLAP discord?
I didn’t check this thread recently. If its for Leipzig, I’m surely up and might help organizing some space, not entirely sure though… prolly need to talk more about what we need/want… should we switch to another platform, like to that discord group or maybe telegram/signal?
Hi,
I am also located in Hamburg. Organised a gathering a few years ago. We were four at the time. I guess two moved away.
Yep, would be nice catching up if there’s an interest.

But I am quite a novice and trying to learn – so if a gathering would happen, I’d most certainly be the person who asks WAY too many questions (“den leuten ein loch in den bauch fragen”).
I think asking questions is more than welcome. I am also far from being an SC expert…
@staxl - I have no idea about Algorave/TOPLAP, might be good to do that in collaboration with people from those forums - I have a feeling the Tidal community in Germany is probably bigger than the SC community, especially in Berlin
I could also always organise space in Weimar quite easily, it’s quite a drive for some people, OTOH it’s pretty central if people from all over Germany wanted to be in the same place
I was out of the game for a while but have been more consistently working on SC again for a few months now. I’m now in based Cologne if people in NRW are keen to meet up - @dietcv@jannoczek@gexahedron@schmolmo - give this a like if you’re keen and I’ll send you all a message.
First Cologne meetup is tomorrow, 19:30 at Chaos Computer Club. Please remember to wear a mask - it’s a requirement of the house, hope that’s ok for everyone!
I’m going to Berlin for a couple of days, I would love to listen to some good computer music or modular stuff.
Do you have any advice?
I hope it’s not too off topic
In case anyone in Cologne is interested, we’ll be meeting again on Tuesday at 8pm. DM me for the address, it’ll be a private apartment. 3 people so far including @mismerized and @dietcv
