We're not sure if this is cutting edge or ancient history at this point, but it somehow feels like a good preparation for the future to fit together banging live coded algorithmic music, with wacked-out synthesis and minimalist instrumental performance, to form a full-body line-up of pattern-based audio/visual music performance.

Check out this amazing line-up:

LOULA YORKE - trademark improvised hardware-only live sets see her building abstract sonic collages into powerful beat workouts backed by kaleidoscopes of interlocking and repeating algorithmically-derived melodies. For pattern club, Loula is bringing a laser as well.

EMERGENCE COLLECTIVE - Sheffield's own Emergence Collective build minimalist structures that morph through musical dialogue, generating otherworldly, shifting and evolving musical landscapes.. Drawing on influences from folk, jazz, experimental and early music. Well they're a bit hard to explain, but if you didn't catch their recent show at Abbeydale Picturehouse, catch up on the video below.

SDGORDON (aka one half of OTO HIAX with Mark Clifford from Seefeel), is bringing his RADIAL machine down from Glasgow. The videos of this incredible device on his insta really speak for themselves: www.instagram.com

and also! an all-star line-up of algorave live coders..

If you're still not in-the-loop on algorave, here's some video explainers featuring some of the people performing at Pattern Club Live:
