Algorave

Algorave is a party where electronic music is made live with algorithms. The word was coined around 2012, initially as a kind of joke, but has since taken hold with Algoraves taking place in 80+ cities around the world. Musical algorithmic processes are opened up by projecting the code on screens in the venue, so ravers can see how the music they hear is being made, complemented by algorithmically generated visuals.

The Algorave takeover at bluedot 2018 showcased a diverse line-up of live coding musicians and visual artists.
