An algorave (from an algorithm and rave) is an event where people dance to music generated from algorithms, often using live coding techniques.[1] Alex McLean of Slub and Nick Collins coined the word "algorave" in 2011, and the first event under such a name was organised in London, England.[2] It has since become a movement, with algoraves taking place around the world.[3][4]

Description

Algoraves can include a range of styles, including a complex form of minimal techno, and the movement has been described as a meeting point of hacker philosophy, geek culture, and clubbing.[5] Although live coding is commonplace,[6] any algorithmic music is welcome which is "wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive conditionals",[7] which is a corruption of the definition of rave music (“wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats”)[8] in the UK's Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. Although algorave musicians have been compared with DJs,[9] they are in fact live musicians or improvisers, creating music live, usually by writing or modifying code, rather than mixing recorded music.[10]

At an algorave the computer musician may not be the main point of focus for the audience and instead attention may be centered on a screen that displays live coding, that is the process of writing source code, so the audience can not just dance or listen to the music generated by the source code but also to see the process of programming.

History

[edit]

Algorithmic approaches have long been applied in electronic dance music from the 1970s when Brian Eno established randomised musical practises which evolved into generative music over the course of his long career. This, in turn, influenced rave culture and techno of the 1990s by Farmers Manual, Autechre, and Aphex Twin. The Anti EP was an explicit response to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 - specifically the track "Flutter" as a means of creating "non-repetitive beats" at raves which had been outlawed by the wording of the Act. The snare rush famously featured on the Girl/Boy EP of 1996 is an earlier form of digital algorithmic coding and featured in drum and bass influenced electronic music of the early to mid 1990s, this approach later evolving into glitch music. Traditional use of algorithms include Maypole dancing, where they are applied to the dance itself as a form of Algorithmic Choreography and bell-ringing. The first self-proclaimed "algorave" was held in London as a warmup concert for the SuperCollider Symposium 2012.[11][12] However, the name was first coined in 2011, after live coders Nick Collins and Alex McLean tuned into a happy hardcore pirate radio station on the way to a performance in the UK.[5] Since then, algorave has been growing into an international movement, with algoraves having been held mainly in Europe and Asia;[13] and few events in Australia[14] and North America.[15][16][17]

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
An algorave is a live performance event featuring generated in real-time through algorithms, typically created via techniques where performers write and modify code on stage to produce sounds and often accompanying visuals, encouraging audiences to dance. The term was coined in 2011 by musicians and researchers Alex McLean and . The first algorave was organized in , , in 2012, blending the algorithmic nature of the music with the communal, rhythmic energy of culture. Algoraves emerged from the broader live coding movement of the early 2000s, influenced by earlier algorithmic music experiments dating back to the 1990s, such as probabilistic composition tools like the Cybernetic Composer (1992) and Koan software (1994), and gained momentum through events at festivals like Transmediale in Berlin. Key characteristics include the use of programming languages and environments like SuperCollider, TidalCycles, and Max/MSP to improvise music across genres from techno to ambient, with projected code serving as a visual element that demystifies the creative process for spectators. Performances emphasize experimentation, embracing errors and unpredictability as integral to the art form, often fostering audience interaction through shared rhythms designed for dancing—though success in eliciting dance varies by event, as seen in early gatherings where attendance reached 200 in London (2013) but fewer danced in others like Tokyo (2014). The algorave scene has grown into a global community spanning at least 18 countries, with events held in nightclubs, festivals, and alternative venues worldwide, promoting inclusivity through initiatives like all-women and non-binary workshops introduced in 2015 to address historical gender imbalances in . Notable developments include media recognition, such as coverage in Wired UK (2013), and expansions into interdisciplinary collaborations, like the AV Club series in and NL_CL in the , which integrate AI and . The scene marked its 10th anniversary in 2022 and continues to expand as of 2025, with events scheduled worldwide, including the Algorithmic Patterns festival in . By prioritizing open-source tools and collective rituals, algoraves challenge traditional music production norms, positioning algorithms not just as tools but as performative collaborators in .

Definition and Characteristics

Core Concept

An algorave is an event where participants dance to music generated in real-time using , blending elements of with computational processes. The music is playfully characterized by "sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive conditionals," adapting the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994's definition of music by substituting "conditionals" for "beats" to highlight the algorithmic aspect. The term "algorave" is a portmanteau of "" and "," coined in 2011 by Alex McLean and during a car ride on the in the while heading to a gig. Central to the algorave experience is its social dimension, where the audience actively dances to the evolving sounds while performers generate the music algorithmically, often projecting the underlying onto screens to make the creative process visible and engaging. This setup fosters a communal atmosphere, with the dancefloor serving as a shared space that influences and responds to the performers' real-time adjustments. At its core, algorave embodies a philosophy of democratizing creation through programming, enabling non-traditional musicians—those proficient in code rather than conventional instruments—to produce and share collaboratively. It primarily utilizes techniques to achieve this, allowing performers to write and modify algorithms on the fly during events.

Distinguishing Features

One of the hallmark features of algorave is the real-time projection of onto screens, allowing audiences to witness the algorithmic processes unfolding alongside the music, which fosters transparency and engagement in the creative act. This visual element distinguishes algorave from traditional raves, where the focus is solely on auditory output, by making the performer's coding decisions visible and integral to the performance experience. For instance, performers often share their screens to reveal syntax changes that directly influence sound patterns, demystifying the technology and inviting spectators to appreciate the liveness of manipulation. Algoraves frequently incorporate synchronized live-coded visuals with the music, creating immersive environments that enhance the sensory impact beyond standard electronic music events. Tools like TidalCycles paired with Hydra enable performers to generate both sonic and visual elements algorithmically, resulting in dynamic, responsive installations that evolve with dancer feedback. This integration contrasts with DJ sets, where visuals are often pre-produced or secondary, by emphasizing emergent, on-the-fly synchronization that ties code directly to the spatial and temporal flow of the event. The music in algoraves typically features and glitchy electronic sounds, characterized by algorithmic unpredictability that introduces variation and surprise, setting it apart from the predictable loops of conventional DJ performances. These styles draw from repetitive rhythms and experimental textures, often rooted in powers-of-two beats, but prioritize real-time improvisation over pre-recorded tracks to maintain a sense of immediacy and flux. Influenced by hacker ethics, algoraves promote an open-source , collaborative , and the rejection of proprietary or fixed compositions in favor of modifiable, shared codebases that encourage community participation. This approach embodies principles of culture, where performers and attendees co-create through transparent, decentralized practices, differing from the commercial individualism of mainstream club scenes. Accessibility is a core distinguisher, achieved through low barriers via free, like and Sonic Pi, which enable coders, artists, and dancers from diverse backgrounds to participate without costly equipment or prior expertise. This inclusivity fosters a welcoming environment for experimentation, broadening participation beyond elite technicians to anyone interested in algorithmic expression.

Historical Development

Origins and Influences

The origins of algorave can be traced to the 1970s emergence of generative music, where artists like Brian Eno pioneered randomized algorithmic processes to create ambient and electronic compositions, laying foundational concepts for algorithmically driven sound generation adaptable to dance contexts. Eno's work, including his use of systems like Koan software in the 1990s, emphasized procedural variation over fixed scores, influencing later electronic dance music by prioritizing emergent patterns over traditional composition. In the 1990s, (IDM) artists such as and further integrated algorithmic elements into and , incorporating generative techniques like probabilistic sequencing and real-time code manipulation to produce complex, non-repetitive rhythms. 's album Confield (2001) exemplified this through software-driven aesthetics, while 's 1997 live performances utilized algorithmic tools in to generate club-ready tracks, bridging computational experimentation with dancefloor energy. The broader live coding movement provided a direct precursor, formalized by the Temporary Organisation for the Promotion of Live Algorithm Programming (TOPLAP), established in 2004 during a gathering in a nightclub to unite practitioners in real-time algorithmic creation for performance. TOPLAP's activities, including the 2009 drafting of a live coding manifesto, emphasized visible, modifiable code as a creative medium, fostering environments that would underpin algorave's performative ethos. Pre-algorave experiments in the 2000s occurred in academic and hacker spaces, notably through Alex McLean's work with the duo Slub, who began performances in 2000 using custom software to generate algorithmic music, often projecting code to engage audiences in computational improvisation. Slub's early gigs, including those by 2001 that drew dancing crowds, demonstrated live coding's potential for electronic dance settings, evolving from experimental setups to more accessible, real-time musical outputs. Algorave's cultural roots also draw from the DIY ethos of the rave scene, which emphasized decentralized, participatory events, combined with computational art traditions showcased at conferences like the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), where presentations on since the 1970s explored intersections of code, sound, and performance. These influences converged to prioritize open-source collaboration and embodied algorithmic expression, setting the stage for algorave's distinct blend of technology and dance culture.

Growth and Milestones

The first algorave event took place on March 17, 2012, in at NNNNN, serving as a warm-up for the SuperCollider Symposium, and was organized by Alex McLean and . This inaugural gathering featured performers including slub (McLean's duo), Yee-King, and MCLD, marking the practical debut of the term "algorave" coined by McLean and Collins the previous year. In the early 2010s, algorave rapidly expanded within the UK, with events in Birmingham at the Network Music Festival on February 23, 2013, and in Sheffield at Penelopes on November 7, 2013, alongside emerging scenes in Leeds through local performances. International outreach began in Europe the same year, highlighted by the first German algorave at live.code.festival in Karlsruhe on April 20, 2013. These developments reflected growing interest in live coding for dance music across academic and artistic networks. During the mid-2010s, algorave extended to and , with the inaugural Japanese event in on January 5, 2014, at ftftftf, and early Australian appearances at the Musical Metacreation Weekend in from June 14–16, 2013. Growth in followed, with performances integrated into events like NIME 2013 in and later dedicated gatherings. The establishment of algorave.com in 2014 facilitated global coordination, listing events and guidelines to support organizers worldwide.

The London event at Studios on April 9, 2025, continued this momentum, while integrations into academic conferences, such as VIU 2024 in and XJTLU's event in , underscore algorave's scholarly recognition.

Technology and Practice

Live Coding Techniques

In algorave performances, entails performers writing, editing, and executing code onstage in real time to dynamically generate sounds, patterns, and rhythms. This process enables immediate sonic transformations, where modifications to the code directly influence the evolving musical output during the event. Code is often projected onto screens, allowing audiences to follow the creative decisions unfolding. Central to this practice is , which employs to produce beats, melodies, and effects, facilitating without reliance on traditional instruments. Algorithms create layered, looping structures typical of , where performers manipulate parameters to evolve patterns on the fly. This approach emphasizes mathematical precision blended with expressive variation, yielding intricate sonic landscapes. Synchronization presents key challenges, as performers must adjust in real time to sustain danceable tempos, often in the range of 120-140 beats per minute, while constructing tension and release dynamics. These adjustments ensure rhythmic coherence amid ongoing edits, balancing the immediacy of coding with the demands of continuous performance flow. In multi-performer sets, occurs through and networked tools that enable synchronized contributions from multiple coders. This collective approach fosters shared timing and improvisational dialogue, reducing individual risks while amplifying creative interplay. Performers may integrate diverse elements, such as code-based DJing alongside , to build cohesive group outputs. Error-handling in embraces "glitches" arising from code bugs as integral aesthetic elements, transforming potential disruptions into opportunities for innovation. Unlike the seamless polish of conventional production, these imperfections are celebrated for their spontaneity and enhancement of the improvisatory . Such encourage experimentation, where mistakes contribute to the raw, emergent quality of the music.

Common Tools and Languages

TidalCycles, a Haskell-based for manipulating algorithmic patterns, is one of the most prominent tools in algoraves, enabling real-time composition of rhythmic and sonic structures. Initiated by Alex McLean around 2006 during his postgraduate studies, it integrates with audio engines to facilitate performances central to the algorave scene. , an open-source platform for audio synthesis and , has been foundational since early algorave events, providing the backend for sound generation in many setups. Other key audio tools include FoxDot, a Python-based live coding environment that extends with accessible syntax for pattern-based music creation, often featured in algorave performances. Sonic Pi, built on , offers a beginner-friendly interface for educational and performative live coding, emphasizing simplicity in generating beats and melodies suitable for algorave contexts. (Pd) and Max/MSP serve as visual programming environments for prototyping algorithmic music and visuals, allowing modular patching without traditional text-based coding. For visuals, Hydra—a tool running in the browser—enables the creation of generative graphics synchronized with audio, commonly projected during algorave sets to enhance the immersive experience. GLSL shaders, fragment programs for GPU-accelerated rendering, are frequently integrated with audio code via tools like KodeLife to produce dynamic, audio-reactive projections. Hardware in algoraves typically centers on laptops as primary instruments, leveraging their computational power for running open-source software. MIDI controllers and OSC protocols extend this setup, allowing performers to trigger code changes or parameters in real-time while maintaining low costs through open-source hardware compatibility. Tool evolution is community-driven, with TidalCycles receiving significant updates for enhanced real-time capabilities; for instance, its major rewrite in version 1.0.0 around 2021 improved pattern handling and integration, building on prior enhancements from the late 2010s, followed by further releases up to version 1.10.0 in June 2025. A notable recent addition is Strudel, a web-based live coding environment for algorithmic patterns inspired by TidalCycles, which has gained popularity in algoraves for its browser accessibility since its 1.0.0 release in January 2024.

Events and Performances
