The Intersection of Code and Art

Alexandra Karadinas, a musician and coder, discusses her journey into combining code and music. She discovered the possibilities of using computers as musical instruments during her university studies. This realization led her to explore live coding music, using tools like Tidal Cycles, a sub-language of Haskell. The live coding movement, known as algorithmic rave, emerged from a playful conversation between Alex McLean and Nick Collins. The intersection of code and art opens up new creative possibilities and challenges traditional notions of musical instruments.
