About the artist
This talk presents «'Nuther SuperCollider Frame Work» (NSFW), a modular performance software written in the SuperCollider programming language that is central to my practice as a performer, composer, and sound designer. This system allows me to build various performance setups by creating a connected graph of analysis, synthesis, or signal processing modules. These modules can be arbitrarily complex and a simple API allows me to easily build upon the existing library.
The flexibility and open-ended nature of the system has allowed me to develop a consistent artistic voice regardless of the musical situation I find myself in; since starting development in 2024, I've used the NSFW in performances with the jazz orchestra OJKOS, the improvising vocal trio Edgy Palates, the technical death metal band Florid Ekstasis, and to create the multichannel sound design for choreographer Lisa Bysheim's work «If This | Then».
This talk will present some of the software's innovations and limitations, how it has evolved through many iterations over several years, and my plans for further development.

Artist@IMV
Artist@IMV is a series of artist talks hosted at the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo.
