About this Event

Ready to turn code into music? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll dive into the world of algorithmic composition using Strudel, a powerful web-based live coding environment. Whether you're a programmer curious about music theory or a musician looking to experiment with code, this session will teach you how to sequence beats, layer melodies, and perform live music right from your web browser.

What You’ll Learn:

• The Foundations of Strudel: Master the basics of the Strudel REPL and its core API functions to generate sound.
• Algorithmic Composition: Learn how to write code that creates evolving patterns, rhythms, and textures.
