Hlöðver (Hlolli) Sigurðsson, is a composer, live-coder and programmer from Reykjavik based in Berlin. He started live codeing in 2013 during his studies in the Iceland Academy of the Arts and has since then performed regularly with his own free software called Panaeolus in algoraves and festivals in Europe and Americas. Hlöðver is also active in various creative coding communities in Berlin in collaboration with other digital artists and has given talks and workshops on live-coding. Hlöðver is creator, maintainer and contributor of dozens of different music and audiovisual software, all of which can be found on github under free-software licences. The algorave performances from Hlöðver are always improvised and could be described as wild sounds morphing in texture over time with many layers of asynchronous loops, which has shown to be effective in prompting the audience to dance as well as crashing the software in colorful ways.
