Alaska × Subcult — live coding 🌺

Nov 4 · 1:50p · 1h min · Devcon 8 Music Space, Mumbai

DRAFT rider. Built 27 Oct 2026 from the artist’s own words where they wrote to us, and from their application form where they have not yet. Never a guessed connector — where we don’t know, the page asks.

🗓️ Who / when


Set	Tue 4 Nov · 1:50p (IST) · 1 hour
Who's playing	⚠ This is the one slot where we are not sure who is in it. Two applications sit behind this name: a live-coding set (laptop, "needs nothing, brings everything") and Vivek Teega, who plays live guitar and asked only for "a mixer to plug the guitar into". Vivek joined the Telegram group on 27 Oct and was welcomed.
Best guess	Both — a live-coded bed with guitar over it, which would be wonderful. But a guess is not a rider.

🎒 They bring

Live-coding side: "Nope" to needs, "Yup" to bringing — i.e. laptop and everything around it.

Guitar side (Vivek): "Yes" to bringing his own — his guitar.

Alaska is also an OSO steward: per the room rider, his saxophone has a clip condenser mic reserved on the circle patch.

🔌 They plug into — connector by connector

#	What	Out of their side	Into the floor	Board
1–2	Laptop (live code) L/R	unknown. Either a USB audio interface (then: ¼" or XLR outs — which?) or the laptop's 3.5 mm headphone out (then: a 3.5 mm → dual ¼" cable). Ask — do not assume.	¼" jack / DI	2 ch
3	Electric/acoustic guitar	¼"	DI box → XLR, or a guitar amp if one exists	1 ch
4	(if Alaska plays sax) saxophone	acoustic	clip condenser (DPA 4099 / Beta 98-class) — reserved in the room rider, not confirmed on the floor	1 ch

Channels on the board: 3 likely (laptop L/R + guitar) · 4 if the sax joins. Connector types: all open.

🏠 House provides (what Amogh listed, 26 Oct)

Mixer board with open channels — how many channels, nobody has told us yet (after 4 pm the board is shared/open for anyone).
Mics: SM57 / SM58 (vocal + instrument) and ambient mics.
One 6.35 mm (¼") jack on the floor for instruments.
PA (the room's speakers).
Nothing else is confirmed. Monitors, DI boxes, a keyboard, a DJ deck, power strips, tables: all still open questions — see below.

❓ Still missing / open

🚨 Who is actually in this hour — the live coder, Vivek on guitar, or both? Everything else follows from this. Ask first.
🚨 What comes out of the laptop: a USB interface (which model, which output) or the 3.5 mm headphone jack? If headphone-out, they need a 3.5 mm → dual ¼" cable — ask them to pack one.
🚨 A projector or a screen. Live coding is watching someone write the music. Without the code on a surface, half the set is invisible. The room rider proposes one projector; production has not confirmed it.
A DI box for the guitar (or an amp).
A clip condenser if the sax joins.
A table + power for the laptop.
Internet — some live-coding setups pull samples or collaborate over the network. Ask whether they need a hardline.
Monitors — a live coder listening on the PA alone will always be a beat behind.

📣 One line for Amogh

Alaska × Subcult, Nov 4 1:50p, 1h: plan 3 channels — 2 line inputs for a laptop + 1 DI for a guitar — plus a projector/screen, because live coding is meant to be watched. We first need to confirm who is in this hour and what comes out of the laptop.

Unknown — needs the artists. Slot identity itself is unresolved
