Toplap: Live coding to make music to drink beer to

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Earlier this month, my boyfriend, Dan Stowell (MCLD), played a brilliant beatboxing + Supercollider set at PubCode2 (a Toplap event).

The BBC came along to film the event and the video’s now up on the BBC Technology website.

Nick Collins (Click Nilson) had covered his jacket in stick-on letters, spelling out POTPAL LATPOP PALTOP ALTPOP PAPLOT etc. It looked fantastic, but the letters had a tendency to transfer to anyone passing within six feet of him.

By the end of the evening, we were retrieving anagrams from people’s shoes, trousers, hair, faces… If you watch closely at the beginning of the video, you’ll notice Dan has a ‘P’ stuck to the back of his t-shirt.
