This is a recording of my performance with Chiho Oka (@azamiline) at the Tokyo Algorave on June 3, 2018 at Ochiai Soup. It was our first time to perform together. We improvised our set, with me live coding drums in Conductive and Chiho live coding the synth sounds synced to my rhythms. Check our upcoming performances in Tokyo in August and in the UK in August and September. 

The cover image is graphics live coded by Hexler. The photo was taken by Aya Irizuki.
