This is a free lesson preview from my Sonic Pi tutorial teaching you how to live code music. You can access the rest of the course (over 2.5 additional hours of material) here for $25: https://sonic-pi-studio.teachable.com/p/sonic-pi-introduction Easily learn how to use code to: * trigger powerful synthesisers * manipulate pre-recorded samples * add expressive studio effects * perform * compose your own music All from the free and friendly coding environment Sonic Pi (https://sonic-pi.net)which is both simple enough to teach in schools and powerful enough for professional Live Coders to rock huge stages. By purchasing this course you will also be supporting continued development and maintenance of Sonic Pi. Thanks!

I just published a new introductory music coding course: https://sonic-pi-studio.teachable.com/p/sonic-pi-introduction You can watch a free preview of one of the lessons here: https://youtu.be/sHeTmUyttjQ For just $25 you can access over 2.5 hours of in-depth knowledge teaching you the basics of programming and music using the powerful and free live coding synthesiser Sonic Pi. If you've ever been curious about what it's like to express yourself with code - this course will kick-start that journey. Or perhaps you have a friend who you know would just love to explore the combination of code and music. All proceeds from the course go directly towards continued development and maintenance of Sonic Pi - keeping it free and Open Source for everyone. Happy Coding!

This video was originally published on Vimeo in April 2011 on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/22798433 In this video Sam Aaron gives a fast-paced introduction to a number of key live programming techniques such as triggering instruments, scheduling future events and synth design. Finally, the viewer is shown how a simple musical sequence may be composed and then converted into an intricate Reich phase. The main body of the video was recorded in one take and features an Emacs buffer (using Emacs Live http://overtone.github.io/emacs-live/) for editing text and communicating with Overtone (http://overtone.github.io/), an expressive Clojure front-end to SuperCollider. Clojure is a state-of-the-art functional lisp emphasising immutability and concurrency (http://clojure.org).
