Hyperlinear: Coding Musical Patterns
Berlin, Germany
A two-day workshop diving deep into the theory and practice of algorithmic composition. At the end of this workshop, participants will have a firm understanding of how to use code, math and numbers to write beautiful, living and complex music. The workshop has a theoretical part that mixes traditional music theory and geometry to create a new understanding of pitches, rhythm and harmony, and in the practical part we will harness the potential of this knowledge to write music using the programming environment SuperCollider. What you will learn in this workshop: - The fundamental theory of algorithmic composition: Thinking of music in terms of numbers, data and procedures. - How to write music using code in the SuperCollider programming environment - How to livecode music - A deep understanding of Euclidean Rhythms and abstract rhythms more generally - Rhythm programming in SuperCollider - How to compose using generative, procedural and algorithmic techniques. The target audience of the workshop include composers, musicians, sound and engineers and artists of all kinds, but no prior programming experience is necessary. The workshop is 17-18th of July 2026 in Berlin, Germany and is organized by Hyperlinear. NOTE: Date has been moved from April to July. Poster design: Joe Gilmore.
Concert at LiteraturHaus
LiteraturHaus, Copenhagen, Denmark
Mads Kjeldgaard will play a computer music set using their system for performance, improvisation, and composition: M.A.S.S (Modular Algorithmic Sound System), an abstract instrument of compositions and compositional decisions that has been developed by Kjeldgaard over the past years. By combining elements of algorithmic composition, geometric rhythms, and generative music techniques, this instrument enables a wide range of musical explorations in electronic music. The concert will be improvised using M.A.S.S. and will move through a musical landscape inspired by J.S. Bach, New Yorker Minimalism, and silly 1990's Japanese Game Soundtracks. The evening will feature a duo set by Mikkel Schou and Rob Durnin, as well as a solo set by Mads Kjeldgaard.
