    Why We Bleep 045: Algorave/Alex McLean

    Would you like to learn about a novel way to make music that's available to you right now, completely free, improvisational, and insanely powerful? Today we meet Alex McLean and discuss the magic of Algorave - aka: making improvised music onstage by writing and editing small lines of code. It’s an amazing art form and Alex is the person who coined the term ‘Algorave’, and created TidalCycles, a free program for live coding, and is a great advocate for the art form.
