For the peformance we wanted to go in with a theme. We decided to center our performance around a drum and bass vibe, however, when we met up and started our first jam session, it all kind-of deviated and became more of a robo-core or break core type of sound and we decided to just let our creative juices flow.
Mohamed was in charge of the hydra and P5 visuals, while Aadil and I were handling the Tidal parts. We decided that this was probably the best workflow as a group because going back and forth from coding in Haskell to Javascript resulted in us doing alot of run time errors and keeping track of the syntax was quite difficult.
We used tried to play and experiment with cutting up whole samples and to try to create some sharp and distinct sounds that we thought would go well with a DnB energy. While for the visuals we tried to flow into something more distorted and bring out a sense of entropy.
Here is our final code from the last Jam:
