I feel awkward just watching it. But hey, if it's fun more power to them.

I went to the algorave in Brighton. Was the recommended field trip for a Generative Creativity modules im taking as part of my degree. In my opinion the spectacle of coding IS as intrinsic to the performance as the musical output is.<p>I dont think it really does it justice to compare it to more traditional DJing/controllerism. Generally the kind of music from livecoding is qualitatively pretty different.

This looks like a (rather cheesy) repackaging of the experimental electronic music scene. It's not significantly different to what people like Autechre have been doing for decades (several names on algorave.com are from that scene).

Looks a bit cheesy, but neat idea. What makes this different from DJing? You still need someone to control the flow of the music, whether the person is 'live coding' or switching knobs to a synthesizer.
