Sarah, also known as DJ_Dave, writes code to produce rave music. You might say, “Oh, I know that stuff: Algorave! That’s terrible rhythmic computer noise, unenjoyable for human beings”. I got you, really. But DJ_Dave’s music could turn your view completely upside down. The level of her production is so high – it blew me away. I don’t want to brag, but I really know my way around electronic music. For over 15 years of my life, I’ve devoted a significant portion of my brain cells to producing and performing electronic music and its visual accompaniment.

I would like to express it in a very dramatic way and at the same time assure you that I am not exaggerating: Sarah has shifted this seemingly immovable pillar in my mind once and for all. I have learned that algorave is like the musical counterpart to what I have done with code so far, namely mainly visuals. It’s creative coding for a different sense, provided you don’t consider the code itself to be part of the artistic output. I am so grateful that Sarah has broadened my horizons. You can basically watch me live as the puzzle pieces fall into place in my head in this interview with Sarah. Enjoy!
