Alexandra Cárdenas

Alexandra Cárdenas is a Colombian composer and live coder based in Berlin. Originally trained in classical composition, she became one of the leading practitioners of live coding with TidalCycles — the pattern language developed by Alex McLean — using it to generate algorithmic music in real time at the intersection of club culture and contemporary composition.

Her work addresses the acoustic and social dimensions of electronic music, often connecting club and concert settings through a practice that is transparent about its computational means.
