Evening program


Presented by Sonic Code Sessions and Berlin Modular communities

  • Sonic Code Sessions - Fractal collages
    Among the myriad ways that sound intersects with numbers is fractal sequences. Chaos mathematics have been used for decades as a composition aid tool and they still hold their place in computer music. In this performance, fractal - produced rhythm events are combined with an ever - changing global sonic soundscape to create a world of temporary forms that dissolve into each other. 

    LoAd 
    - Musician and software developer. Creator of LoAdKer, an iOS performance app that uses fractals as a means of producing music events and a member of SCS.


  • Performance by Berlin Modular
