_EXECUTE Vol. 1
A compilation of contemporary algorithmic music

"TOPLAP DÜSSELDORF is a group of artists that has existed since 2018 to explore and promote live coding. In order to make this increasingly popular technique of composing and performing electronic music more widely known, the group is releasing with _EXECUTE Vol. 1 the works of Düsseldorf artists together with the works of the international live coding scene as a compilation for the first time.

In their performances, live coders reveal the inner workings of software, manipulate it directly in the source code, and in the process improvise to create music or moving images. The process of programming is made visible to the audience through a projection of the computer screen. Live coding works in all music genres and is shown in many livestreams and all over the world in concert halls, clubs and on so-called algoraves.

What is unique about live coding is the combination of cool computer science, strictly rule-based and merciless in its treatment of errors, with musical improvisation, which is usually free and open to deviations from the usual. In this way, the live coders fill the sobriety of programming with aesthetic life, making the hidden beauty of code audible and visible to connoisseurs and lay listeners and viewers."

Peter Witt, artistic director of the Düsseldorf art festival "Die Digitale", March 2022. die-digitale.net
