Live Coding Sound with TidalCycles - On demand
Membership plan: Getting Started | Topics: Creative Coding
Course overview
Live coding is the act of manipulating algorithms in real time to change an ongoing artistic process, like music or visuals. In this workshop, we will begin with an introduction to live coding, highlighting various technologies and artists, before learning how to live code sound using TidalCycles.
What you'll learn
- Create a variety of patterns
- Use functions to vary sequences
- Add effects to manipulate and process sounds
- Identify various technologies and practitioners of live coding
Who is this course for?
- This workshop aims to provide an introduction to live coding to encourage others to incorporate live coding technologies and techniques into their practice.
