As part of his No Bounds residency, Alex McLean puts together this online live series of producers who are pushing algorithmic patterns forward through sound. As well as performing widely (including at No Bounds) Alex co-founded the Algorave movement and created the popular free/open source live coding system TidalCycles. These Alpaca sessions will showcase those using TidalCycles and similar algorithmic music platforms to look beyond stylism, instead using algorithms to restructure music, building on the ancient tradition of pattern making. This second session showcases producers from Indonesia, USA and Manchester UK. Hosted by Hope Works x No Bounds Festival.
This will be live on all of our YouTube, Facebook and Twitch channels.

Finished His Bachelor of Arts in Music Composition and graduated from the Indonesian Institute of The Arts Yogyakarta in 2019. He is currently a member of certain live coding groups from Yogyakarta such as BASASAE, ANTI/SUPER TEMPORAL, Kursi Ketik Ensemble, and also an international live coding ensemble called IG Noto.
His practice tries to look at many possibilities and visions based on His Javanese and Sundanese background, the provided material, equipment, conditions, etc. His art mostly talking about the empirical references and thoughts toward life, human relation, mysticism, absurdity, automatism, and interest in the idea of juxtaposing certain media to create another impression and meaning.

{arsonist}
Danielle Rager is an experimental composer and computational
scientist. Her solo music project {arsonist} juxtaposes orchestral
textures and her own violin performances against electronics that are algorithmically manipulated using tools like musical programming
language TidalCycles. Together these sonic elements kindle a unique
symphonic form of computer music that The Wire Magazine praised as
“digital soundscapes that step into the fantastical.” Rager’s neuroscience research career drives her interest in multisensory integration and creation of real-time, immersive audio-visual
experiences with GLSL and OpenFrameworks. She co-directs the
Pittsburgh-based online radio platform and A/V event production
collective Cosmic Sound with Kevin Bednar.
Michael-Jon Mizra:
Michael creates work to reflect on the techno-evolution of humanity. He looks to a future where the divide between nature and civilisation has dissolved. His sound and visuals invoke the liminal spaces of long abandoned server farms running on solar power and high-speed communication protocols continually re-writing themselves. Working directly from the hardware, he re-designs and re-applies data as texture and rhythm, incessantly sampling as it all accelerates into nothing.
