An Introduction To Live Coding and Music - Alex McLean

Join Music in the Round for a workshop on making musical patterns with live coding led by Alex McLean. Whether you’re a complete novice or simply curious about the world of coding and music, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore creativity through sound. No prior experience is necessary, just bring your curiosity and a desire to experiment!

Alex will introduce the open-source live coding platform that he co-instigated, Strudel. It enables complex musical rhythms and patterns to be created and explored with simple code.  

The workshop is suitable for beginners with no experience in coding or music-making, exploring patterns by listening to and adjusting just a line or two of code.  

Participants should bring a laptop (or similar device with a web browser  – as long as it can make sounds with https://strudel.cc/)
