This year, sound artists David Littler and Alex McLean will describe and demonstrate their musical collaboration, fusing new and old technologies; namely the algorithmic music through live coding, and mechanical music through music boxes fed by punched paper strips. The lecture begins with a performance by David Littler, followed by a performance by Alex McLean before they come together for a joint improvisation. Alex and David are part of the Thinking Out Loud exhibition currently on show at the ODI until March 2017, including using music box compositions created by ODI visitors and residents.
