I love liquidsoap because paradoxally i feel like it's my own, favorite temporality of livecoding.
Tweaking, writing scripts is so painstaking but I love to take so much time to progress, it's a long run. And meanwhile, just listen, learn, think, write, do your things, swing, stim, wander.
It's interpreter is dramatically slow but as is the experience of listening to a radio station. Taking time, doing something else meanwhile.
I love it as it is: vibing with collective algorithms and their contents on a daily basis, listening to other people's creations assembled quasi-randomly, intertwined with live interventions.
It's an object of agency. It can be such an interface to communicate between different people, to listen to each others, to compose an asychronous ensemble.
Some streams are super small and simple, some very standard yet powerful, some abstract and mysterious. It makes me appreciate genres I wouldn't otherwise.
That's what I love the most with TT-node. Living my life among this collection of sound-machine-creatures. Surely my favorite daily cyborg activity.
