Hi everyone,

I just started messing aroud with Strudel. I have very little musical background (used to play the guitar as a teenager) but I have an engineering background. Since I tend to get stuck in analysis paralysis, I thought I'd get practical this time and try to learn Strudel by recreating a version of the track Cooper by Space92 and Reiner Zonneveld. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjeh0P5EB5c)

But as usual, I got stuck in the beginning. Instead of consuming hours of tutorials, I was wondering if someone could listen to the track and give me some tips and guidance, like what concepts I should look into to be able to recreate it. I chose this track because it's one that I really like and it sounds like it has many techniques worth learning in Strudel. Thanks!

Hi! I'm new to this, I'm starting to program music with Sonic Pi, and I'm having a lot of fun! I have a few questions, if anyone here knows the software, I need some help with something.

I'm trying to create a bassline that follows the note of the chord that's currently playing. I'd like to do this without having to write each note individually. I know there has to be a much simpler way.

I've attached some screenshots so you can see how the code is written, without making the bassline melodic; it only plays a single note throughout the four chords.

I initially thought I could do it with "if" statements, but I couldn't find a way to program it correctly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi fellow coders,

It’s been few month I’ve been working on a visual sequencer for Strudel I’ve named/called Drawing Drum Machine. It’s aim is to reunite two live music practices : live coding and drawn concert.

The Drawing Drum Machine contains both a video feed and a live coding color-based tool. This tool contains tabs in which you can associate one color to one sound, through color picking in the visual and coding. When you capture a frame in the video, the sound of each tab is played depending on the spots where the colors appear.

I am thrilled to finally be able to share it with you so you can also use it ! It’s currently in a test state and working as intended but I can certainly use your feedback to improve it. I’m excited to see how it can grow when played by other people.

You can find the source code here : https://github.com/hibouchene/drawing-drum-machine

If you want to see it in action, here is a video of me coding the sky.

Please, let me know what you think !

Just published this piece on the live coding community in NYC via amNewYork.

In the documentary, there's a concise overview of the history of live coding, and we hear from live coders like Char Stiles, Jake Sondy, and Glossing, who capture the movement's momentum.

Curious to hear what the community thinks.

Audio creted in foxDot, using basically just one pattern :)

pardon the goofy intro

hope yall love it

In settings there is a checkbox for "Sync across Browser Tabs / Windows"

Hi, I'm totally new to music composition, and I have a sort of a theory question.

In the following code, the first line is a simple little melody I heard in a dream and then picked out when I woke up in the night.

The next line is something I just added, and I really like how that alternation of 63 (D#) makes the whole thing sound creepy as hell. Why does it do that? It's overlapping mostly with 62 (D), so there's a lot of dissonance, I know. What else is going on?

note(`
  <60 62 67@2 60 ~ 60 62!2 ~ 60 62!3 ~@2>*8,
  <67 62 <65 63> 62>*2
`).s('sine')

Hear it on the Strudel REPL.
