Introduction to Making Music with Live Coding in SuperCollider

Joanne is a live coder and improsiver working with hardware synthesizers to produce textural and rhythmic sounds. Recent projects include visual album and performance Collision Grounds with artist Anya Stewart-Maggs. In 2018 she participated in a coding cultural exchange between Yorkshire and Tokyo funded by Arts Council England, British Council, Daiwa Foundation and Sasakawa Foundation. In April 2019 as part of British Council’s Amplify programme, she gave a workshop-performance at Mutek Buenos Aires. She curated SXSW first Algorave (2019) supported by Lush, PRS Foundation and British Underground. She has received Sound and Music’s Composer-Curator fund (2018) and is a resident at Somerset House Studios.

Mutant Promise is a programming, producing and artist booking platform supporting the work of musicians who combine a DIY and workshop practice with their performance, composition and release work.

Taking its title from Adam Harper’s ‘Evolution of Post-Internet Music’, Mutant Promise encapsulates a desire to work with artists who are restless with their medium, whose practice is to continually hack, modify, invent - mutate - the tools and instruments which they're given. The 'promise' is the certainty of the push forward that defines these tools, and how this process shapes new artistic practices in return.
