Take a deep dive as we ebb and flow through creating abstract rhythms, melodies, and musical compositions through procedural sequencing – in one of the most innovative coding languages ever created, ORCA.
In this powerful, esoteric, abstract, limitless, real-time live coding environment, we control audio software and instruments to manifest our sonic landscapes and explore. Simple enough for anyone to dive in. Deep enough to satisfy any level of creative exploration and obsession.
“Orca is an esoteric programming language, designed to create procedural sequencers in which each letter of the alphabet is an operation, where lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame. The application is not a synthesizer, but a flexible livecoding environment capable of sending MIDI, OSC & UDP to your audio interface, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.” – Hundredrabbits
