Live coding comprovisations with the Estuary platform. Developed January-June 2020 in the Networked Imagination Laboratory at McMaster University and online. Recorded online June-July 2020. The development of Estuary is supported by an Insight grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The Networked Imagination Laboratory was created with support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Ontario's Ministry of Research and Innovation, and the Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University. Thanks to the developers of all the tools we use, and special thanks to all past, present, and future members of the Cybernetic Orchestra!
