In this workshop Antonio Roberts aka hellocatfood will introduce you to the basics of live coding music using Strudel.
Strudel is a live coding environment for making music with algorithmic patterns. It is based on TidalCycles, but works in the browser and shares similarities in syntax to javascript.
During the workshop you will learn the basics of using Strudel's "mini-notation" to create melodies, drum patterns, and manipulate samples. Strudel's live audio and visual feedback will help you to understand the code as you write it.
By the end of the workshop you will learn the skills needed to create your own music and performances. If you've ever been curious about using code to make music and have aspirations to perform at live coding events and Algoraves then this workshop will is for you.
To participate you will need:
* A laptop (Linux, Mac, or Windows) with Firefox or Google Chrome installed
* Internet connection
* Headphones
No prior coding or music knowledge required!
This workshop is part of the launch of the new Centre for Electronic Music at the University of Birmingham.
