The Blank Pages Performance is an improvisation involving live coding,
where the participants are musicians and 
instrument makers at the same time.
The performances are never prepared and the participants do not necessarily
know each other. Each participant has 
a station on which he creates a sound making program in real time using
Pure Data or MaxMSP. These programming 
environments allow them to write and modify their code while continuing to
produce sound and/or video. There is no 
computer connection between the stations : only listening to each other
allows the participants to play together- the 
quality of the music produced is based on this central idea and it is each
performer’s responsibility to listen as much 
as possible. This, the score, and the four points below are what guides the
musician/programmers through the 
Blank Pages Performance.
1. The performance lasts one hour. This is the length redeemed sufficient
to construct and develop a dialogue 
between the performers.
2. Each participant must use one of two programming languages written by
Miller Puckette ; Pure Data or Max MSP. 
These programming environments were conceived for the real time creation
and processing of data, sound
and video.
3. The musician/programmers must begin the performance with a blank
programming page. They are therefore set 
in a situation of pure improvisation since even there instrument is
non-existent at the beginning of the set.
4. It is strictly forbidden to load or save a file during the entire
session.
