Presentation
Live music coding, like other forms of programming, can require a lot of setup to get started. That’s a shame – many newcomers lose their enthusiasm as they battle editor configuration and hardware quirks.
Klangmeister attacks this problem by hosting a live coding environment in the most ubiquitous programming environment in the world. Users are invited to design synthesisers and compose melodies with Clojurescript – without leaving the comfort of their browser.
In this talk, I'll explain what Klangmeister does, how it does it, and why.
Chris is a certified BABE (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Engineering), and consequentially an idiophile and technophobe. He began to make music with code partly to compensate for his poor technique, and partly because air piano is unsatisfying. When he works, he works for ThoughtWorks, though that isn't all the time.
flatMap(Oslo) - A functional programming conference, with focus on Scala and the Java Virtual Machine.
On the 27th and 28th of April 2015, a group of enthusiasts organised the fourth flatMap(Oslo) conference. It was 2 amazing days. 100 attendees gathered for technical talks, workshops, discussions and craft beer. Feedback was great, and in 2016 we gather again for the 5th annual flatMap(Oslo). The goal for this year is the same. Small and intimate, but with high ambitions.
flatMap(Oslo) is organised by a group of developers from Arktekk – a small independent consultancy company based in Oslo, Norway. The financial goal for flatMap(Oslo) is to break even. Every penny we make will go into making the best conference possible. Together with our awesome sponsors we work hard to give you a conference tailored for enthusiasts of Scala and functional programming on the Java Virtual Machine.
