Algorithmic + Live Coding ヾ(´〇`)ﾉ♪♪♪

A casual take of an original song that I created and live coded using Sonic Pi called "Song to Sing"

About my set up:
I'm live coding music using Sonic Pi (https://sonic-pi.net/), a live coding synth based on Ruby. The sounds are being generated by Sonic Pi (which is powered by Super Collider) and Ableton (which is receiving MIDI from Sonic Pi). I'm also recording my voice into Sonic Pi and using code to manipulate how it's played back. This track was recorded in Audacity.

Lyrics:
  ## What kind of song do you sing when you don't have a tune in mind?
  ## What kind of song do you sing when you're trying to pass some time
  ## I just wanna move my lips until I believe in something
  ## I just wanna move my hips until I'm somewhere new
  
  ## This is a song to sing to remember how to sing
  ## This is a song to sing - just trying to get by
  ## This is a song to sing to remember how to be alive
  ## - just trying to get by

Melody Loveless was commissioned by Barnard-Columbia Ancient Drama for their production of Sopholcles' "Trachiniae" ("The Women of Trachis") and was directed by Anna Conser. The production was in ancient Greek with English supertitles and by a chorus of 11 and four soloists. The ensemble was accompanied by

To preserve the meter of the poetry, Conser and Loveless worked closely to match the meters of the movement to the rhythms in the poetry and the melodic lines to the pitch accents of the language.

It was premiered March 31 - April 2, 2016 at Minor Latham Playhouse on Barnard's Campus.

Music made with code from last night's set with Codie at Muchmore's in Sonic Pi.

Fun fact: I downloaded samples from NASA's soundcloud - including radio emissions from Saturn, light curve waves of a keplar star that were converted to sound, and a "quantum whistle" of ultra cold helium.
