. Call for participation LOSS Livecode Festival in association with Access Space, Toplap and lurk. Sheffield, UK 20-22 July 2007 A small festival bringing together some of the most dynamic and exciting digital musicians in the Uk and beyond. Over the 2 days, it will include workshops, presentations, impromptu performances and a special live event. Livecoding is dynamically creating audio or video by changing software or code as it executes. It began during the 1980s, primarily with FORTH and Lisp. In recent years new live coding environments and languages such as Chuck, Fluxus, Impromptu and SuperCollider 3 have appeared, with enthusiastic communities growing around them. Live Coding performances have also used PureData, Scheme, Perl, Haskell, Ruby, Python... Further information and background can be found at http://livecode.access-space.org **Call for Participation** Calling all Livecoders and those who are interested. We want your: * performances * presentations * workshops * Input to help make this a superb and exciting meeting of livecoders. We have some small bursaries available to contribute towards travel and accommodation and we will do our best to help get as many people here as possible. Money is however short and **Call for Commissions** We have a limited pot of money for commissioning new works for the festival. If you would like time or resources to develop a new way of performing, some new language or software feature, or something else interesting then please include a short estimated budget in your brief, which may include an artist fee.
