The annual festival Sound Days in Liepāja (Latvia) is calling out to all Baltic live coders, and anyone who is interested in this topic of creating music and art with code, to join us in the first Baltic Live Coders Meetup (BLCM) on April 25, 2025.
The BLCM aims to bring together live coders from the three Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – to foster exchange, get to know each other and to create opportunities for further cooperation. It is embedded within the festival Sound Days, that takes place in Liepāja from April 22 – 26, 2025. On Friday, April 25 during the BLCM there will be an opportunity for live coders to present their work and to exchange ideas, culminating with an Algorave with international and local artists in the evening and night. If you cannot make it to Liepaja on that day, you can also participate in the event remotely.
To better plan this event we kindly ask for everyone interested in attending to fill out this form until February 16, 2025. Later applications to attend the Baltic Live Coders Meetup will still be considered, but having a good overview of attendance early on is vital for our plannings. Application form:

Sound Days is a satellite event of the International Conference on Live Coding (ICLC). Sound Days are made possible by the support of Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia, “RTU Liepaja Academy”.
