Programming as Performance | Sam Aaron | TEDxManchester
Sam Aaron, and Postdoc Researcher at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, is discussing the idea of programming as performance, examining the importance of emphasising, exploring and celebrating creativity within all aspects of the skillset.
By day, Sam Aaron is a mild-mannered Research Associate at the Cambridge University Digital Technology Group. By night, he’s a live coder who considers programming as performance and strongly believes in the importance of celebrating creativity within all aspects of programming. He is also the lead developer of Overtone and Quil, both very powerful live coding platforms and the creator of sonic Pi which is used to teach programming to young people and children. Sam's talk and performance will be a compelling display of what happens when you mash up passion, creativity and code.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

This was so sick! Sam Aaron, you are awesome! I’m excited to learn more about this topic. Gonna dig in right away :-))
this is amazing... really awesome
Pure inspiration
this the coolest dj out there
The audio level is not good, it should be normalized, because i cant hear Sam well. Its soft and loud - basically mixed levels of audio What does this mean for the DJ industry and affects towards existing DJs/Producers like Above n Beyond / Paul Oakenfold / Carl Cox / Armin Van Buuren / Nifra/ Nora En Pure / Kristina Sky / Giuseppe Ottaviani / Ferry Corsten / Johan Gielen - i dont know what software they use to build their tracks, but with this kind of software...i do not know what the direction is - its becoming complicated like programming or choosing what sweet or medicine to buy - there is too much product now

It doesn't mean that much. Most of them rely heavily on hardware made for specific software. Then we go to the question if the dj does indeed make music. Or the software does. You can give a broken guitar to a concert guitarrist and they will get out music from that. But you give an old laptop to a dj and they would need to install their special software to do something. Sonic Pi is like the barebones. It's not a software. It's a programming language and you would only need the compiler so it's more of a musical instrument than actual 'music' software
