PROGRAM
9:00pm - CARDUME Album Release Party (Chelsea Music Festival Records label’s fifth album) begins with a Reception!
9:30pm - CARDUME performance with visual digital artwork by Nitcha “Fame” Tothong
The new collaboration between Cardume and visual artist and technologist Nitcha Tothong is inspired by the fluidity, collectiveness and liveliness of Cardume's music. For this performance, live visual coding transforms real-time improvisation into dynamic graphic experiences by algorithmically blending generative patterns with hand-drawn elements that respond to live inputs. Artists manipulate code and trigger parameters on the fly, creating visual compositions where every keystroke and audio cue leads to immediate changes in color, form, and movement across the screen. The hand-drawn components add organic texture and a human touch, while algorithmic processes generate complex patterns and procedural animations that evolve. This hybrid approach captures the spontaneity of improvisation through reactive systems, transforming code into a visual instrument that produces ephemeral digital compositions unique to each performance, reflecting Cardume's improvisational style.
Come early to the not-be-missed program by Verona Quartet & Friends—A Swiss Journey!
Ticketing Options available for individual event or double-header performance.
