The International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC) is dedicated to practices and research focused on technologies and philosophies that interpret the use of computer code as gesture within the context of live performances. The 2025 edition, organized by Axolot, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and TOPLAP Barcelona, will count on the participation of MTG members and the collaboration of Phonos for the opening concert.

"Ιstoríes (20 Years of Freesound)"

performance by Panagiota Anastasopoulou (allholy)

Wednesday, May 28, 18:00 - 21:30 (Doors: 18:00, Begin: 18:30), at Sala Beckett

Live coding performance that celebrates Freesound's 20th anniversary, highlighting the platform's impact on sound sharing and creativity. Using SuperCollider, the performance retrieves and manipulates sounds from Freesound in real-time, creating an improvised composition that reflects the diversity and unpredictability of the database and navigates Freesound's sonic landscape through the Broad Sound Taxonomy, which categorizes sounds into semantic-based classes.

Panagiota Anastasopoulou will also be performing as a member of TOPLAP Athens: https://iclc.toplap.org/2025/catalogue/person/toplap-athens.html

"Network Bending - an anti-theoretical interaction framework for neural synthesis models in Pure data"

workshop by Błażej Kotowski

Saturday, May 31, 14:00‑16:00, at Canòdrom - Sala Hedy Lamarr

A hands-on workshop on network bending, a technique inspired by circuit bending and applied to generative neural networks. Participants will explore how small, open-source AI models trained on personal audio recordings can be intuitively manipulated for sound design and live performance. Framed through the lens of anti-design, the workshop will encourage creative misuse, unpredictability, and experimentation beyond conventional development principles, treating neural models as living instruments within Pure Data.
