Music Hackspace Meetup - TidalCycles with Calum Gunn #2

Following the first TidalCycles meetup in April, Music Hackspace and Calum Gunn are pleased to be bringing round two. 

This one will be more hands on than last time you are encouraged to bring a laptop if you’d like to make some noise. Headphones might be a good idea too. This meetup should be suitable for anyone whether you’re an experienced Tidal user or have never programmed before.

TidalCycles (or Tidal for short) is a programming language for live coding pattern. It allows you to make musical patterns with text, describing sequences and ways of transforming and combining them, exploring complex interactions between simple parts.

Tidal is open source and can be downloaded for free here. If you have any problems with installation Music Hackspace will be happy to help out in the meetup. If you’re keen to develop your Tidal knowledge beforehand, there are plenty of great resources available. In particular, the official website, the Github and previous Meetup performer PixelPusher’s Github.

The meetup is organised by Calum Gunn and Music Hackspace. Calum makes computer music and runs Conditional, a label, radio show and night based in London. Further celebrity Tidal users to be announced soon.
