Sonic Pi: Making Music With Code

Taught by Brooks Frederickson

About the Workshop

Learn to use Sonic Pi, a free, easy-to-understand programming language to create music on the fly. Sonic Pi’s built-in samples, synthesizers and effects give you access to any genre of music all through the magic of simple text coding. No coding or music experience needed!

Participants should download the Sonic Pi software, found here, prior to this workshop.

We hope you will be able to join us on Mondays at 3pm for the remainder of the semester for this arts and tech collaboration with the Co-Lab @Home team.
