Not recommended for people prone to seizures

This is so incredible, musically, visually and didactically. Absolutely amazing. Absolutely amazing.

That demo is excellent. You can uncomment some lines at the bottom and hit alt+enter (or click the Update button) to add visualization effects too.

I shed an actual tear. I dreamed of days like this. I got close, building a small language for generating generic music, but with decay, sawtooth and stuff? It's a functional DAW.

Wow, I started learning recently, I didn't know you can change the theme.

Also this music brings really good vibes!

I get more motivated when I can see it working directly and change some code here and there!

Thanks for sharing.

Amazing! Though I can't get the theme to stop changing while the music is playing. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Well that song was my digital dopamine for the day. Couldn’t stop bobbing my head while in a busy train

That's absolutely sick. I love seeing a full arrangement like this as opposed to destructive live coding--that's cool too, but I don't really vibe with it as a workflow. Definitely taking some inspiration from this.

Love this! Patterning the theme is such a great idea.

This is absolutely insane.

Great work! I'm saving this one (I have it in a loop rn on my big screen).

This is great! I'm not really into electro, but I really like this one!

You made an entire performance. Good, good job

love how you change the style as it plays. the custom font is a nice touch :)

Very cool! Thank you for sharing :)

That was a lovely experience.

Fantastic!

Such a good example of why everything is becoming js. Because it's where the users are. Anything that isn't in js will just languish comparatively.

Everything is becoming js because everything is becoming js.

I went to a basement party/rave recently where the DJ was live-coding strudel, was incredibly cool to see in person. people would watch them type out new lines in anticipation of a beat drop

Pretty cool to see this post, I had no idea where to find more info about it!

Another live-coding environment that is quite nice (Haskell-based) is TidalCycles: https://tidalcycles.org

I wrote a whole album of material about 10 years ago with it, just remastered/re-released it. It's a fun way to write music while on an airplane!

It's fun to watch and somehow more approachable to me than a big program with lots of menus and virtual knobs.

Would be curious licensing on music you produce with it eg. can you use it, record the session then put it on YT no copyright.

There’s a Strudel-like system focused on lower-level sound synthesis: https://kabel.salat.dev/

+1 Switch Angels performances

This is an excellent example. It also highlights how if I tried this it would sound terrible as I lack have vocabulary to describe what I want, and how that relates to the code.

this is awesome. The only code instruction video instructions that I have watched that doubled as a song. At first I thought it was the Euro dance hall lyrics and then I realized it was actually the code instructions.

Yeah, thanks for both posts. I love the narration with the live coding (like a conversation with voice and code). If I can get to that level, I'll die a happy man.

Every time I watch one of her performances, I smile when she says "... with the scope."

Is this real library/editor/programming-language ?? I don’t see anything on how it’s made?

I was trying to make it automatically randomly choose between the normal speed and twice speed after a long time. I think appending

.fast(chooseCycles(1, 2).slow(128))

at the very end does it. But I'm not actually sure. Would a strudel user mind informing me how this is done? Also, I was hoping to make it automatically shift the key, but I couldn't figure it out.

Sadly doesn't even run at all on safari. "Importing a module script failed." :(

Is there a way (like a CSS rule or something similar) that when you look at the main strudel window, it only shows the piano rolls, punch cards, sliders, etc - but not the code?

Maybe with just the comments? This would be killer, since I have dual displays, and on one I can just focus on the code, the other one can have all the visual stuff.

I'm using this plugin, but having the code twice distracts me a lot (but I prefer the original neovim instead the integrated vim mode inside strudel).

Thanks in advance!

Link has a trailing semicolon and doesn't work - but awesome to have nvim + strudel!

> Code-as-instrument is genuinely innovative.

but DAWs plugins and instruments are just like code but with an GUI interface to mess with. don't get me wrong, PureData freedom is astonishing but one can also go quite far with esoteric sequencers or modulation in DAWs found out there

It would be unergonomic, if not painful, to use a western classical approach to rhythm in a programming environment. Alex McLean, the main author of Tidal/Strudel, is very much into Indian classical, and this is reflected in the approach to rhythm. IMO this is an good choice, and people who know music theory and composition should feel right at home, assuming we're talking about the right theory.

When it comes to pitch (and I guess we agree on this) Strudel is firmly on the western traditional side. It generally assumes 12-tone equal temperament, uses ABC notation, has built-in facilities to express chords using their classical names...

Meanwhile I'm over here programming music where I express all frequencies as fractions or monzos. I find this better suited to a music programming environment, but this might be more personal.

Yeah, it's on codeberg https://codeberg.org/uzu/strudel
