Acid trance and Goa trance, written as code.
Bong Lebowski is the live-coding project of Abhiraj Das Ghosh, a musician trained in Hindustani classical music and certified in jazz improvisation by Berklee. Sets are written while they play, in Strudel and TidalCycles, with the code projected so the room can watch the music being made. Acid trance and Goa trance, with acid house and techno in the mix. Raga pitch material and Carnatic rhythmic math are the notation underneath, used where they earn their place.
