Sonic Pi is a powerful and accessible live coding environment that invites artists, musicians, and the code-curious to create sound through code. This hands-on workshop introduces the basics of Sonic Pi and explores how live coding can be used as a tool for composition, performance, and experimentation.

We’ll explore how Sonic Pi enables real-time composition and improvisation, using code as a flexible and expressive language for sound. No prior experience with music or programming is required—just curiosity and an openness to explore.

Workshop Format:

• Hands on introduction to Sonic Pi and its basics
• Listening to examples of live-coded music
• Respond to sound through short coding prompts
• Explore modifying existing code
• Time to experiment, jam, and share what you’ve made
