BKR: Live Coding Music with TidalCycles
Event Information
Event description
Description
A no-code-or-music-experience-required introduction to live coding - making music with code - using the open source TidalCycles language. Participants will learn how to install the required software, make rhythmic and melodic patterns in a text editor, select and manipulate sounds, and apply algorithmic transforms to create complex and surprising sonic sculptures.
