MDPE.11:4.2 - Live coding

In live coding, running code can be visible and changed while sound or audiovisual material is produced. A useful result names the performer’s live-coding Method, starting code and material, allowed transformations, current technical and audience conditions, code states or musical material actually produced, and trace needed by the next decision.

Field sources describe several practices, not one universal live-coding Method. An event calendar or Algorave label is neither material realized in a performance nor evidence of audience recognition or cultural retention.
