*Hybrid Live Coding Interfaces: performance and craft* https://hybrid-livecode.pubpub.org/pub/nimecfp/
*Venue: *New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) 2020, 21-25 July, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, United Kingdom *(hosted online)* *Format:* Research workshop with short ‘lightning’ presentations followed by moderated discussion. *Time and place:* Online, three hour workshop, 21st July 2020 BST. (hours to be decided in response to participant survey). *Proposal deadline: *24th May 2020 AoE. *Participation fee: *Free for all participants and presenters. *Outcome: *Exchange and generation of ideas, new contacts and potential new collaborations. The live coding field has grown over the past 20 years from a community of artists and researchers <http://art.runme.org/1107861145-2780-0/livecoding.pdf> interested in “changing rules while they are followed” -- that is, the creative practice of using a computer programming language as a live interface, mainly in the performing arts. This field has since grown into the international “TOPLAP <https://toplap.org/>” community, with dozens of local nodes <https://toplap.org/nodes/> and offshoots such as Algorave <http://algorave.com> algorithmic dance music events, with events taking place in over a hundred cities with growing <https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/nov/30/is-algorave-the-future-of-dance-music-sheffield-algomech-festival> media <https://cdm.link/2018/05/inside-the-livecoding-algorave-movement-and-what-it-says-about-music/> interest <https://mixmag.net/feature/algorave/4>. Live coders have worked collectively to make their technology and culture accessible, with almost all systems shared as free/open source software <https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding#languages>, and attempts to instill inclusivity, diversity <https://github.com/Algorave/guidelines> and safety <https://github.com/Algorave/algoraveconduct> across organisations and lineups. On this foundation, current research <https://iclc.toplap.org/> in the field is increasingly looking outward, beyond now well-established practices such as algorave <https://algorave.com/>, livecode network music <https://networkmusicfestival.org/> and slow coding <http://www.ludions.com/texts/2007a/>. This includes new interfaces based on old practices including the Stenophone <https://github.com/jarmitage/Stenophone/> made from a court transcription device, a live-codable loom <https://penelope.hypotheses.org/1780> based on ancient weaving technology, and experiments in punk genres such as riot grrrl remixed with live codeable machine listening tools. This is a call for proposals for short demos, talks and other interventions exploring hybrid live coding interfaces in performance and craft.
