Sonic Pi FTM

Recording of the Sonic-PI livecoding demo given at Retune 2014 conference (slightly extended with extra synth stacks after the conf, but still recorded as another live coding session - no cheating!).

This sonic pi file utilises the tick functions in version 2.6dev and also the note_range function. It generates a rhythm percussion section building on ideas in my earlier percussiongenerator2 at https://gist.github.com/rbnpi/f249905887f8eadff82b and also influenced by Martin Butz sequence generator at https://gist.github.com/mbutz/2ea7cdd19648c380a721

The code for this version is at https://gist.github.com/rbnpi/e0bb6f9ae4e24066e992
It requires Sonic Pi 2.6dev later than about JUly 13th 2015, and has been tested on a Mac and on a Pi2.
It produces an interesting melody track utilising a pattern consisting of the 4 bit binary numbers 0 to 15 placed one after the other to give a 64 bit pattern. The"1"s are used to control one synth and the "0" a different one giving an interesting interplay. It can run indefinitely, but at present is ingtroduced by a noise burst and ended by the same noise burst about 2 minutes later. Enjoy!

I've been feeling slightly nostalgic for my chiptune music released as Kalle-Signals in 2009 https://music.carltesta.net/album/signals and recently discovered the amazing Sonic Pi live coding software and this is my first little dance track I've built up using the system. I'd encourage any and everyone to checkout Sonic Pi at http://sonic-pi.net and have fun with it!

Kalle - Sonic Pi First Piece

Duet for Sonic Pi and Acoustic Guitar is a piece which was inspired by my hometown of Dundee. Dundee is incredibly well known for its live music scene and its advances in game design, both of which shine through in this piece. It explores the relationship between electronic and acoustic sounds, reflecting Dundee's groundbreaking contribution to game design in the 21st century, but also paying homage to its traditional history of 'Jute, Jam, and Journalism'.

The piece allows for much freedom for both the programmer and the guitarist; both performers are given a set of instructions rather than a score. The contrast between the electronic sounds from the Sonic Pi and the raw, unplugged acoustic guitar is an exciting playground for the performers to utilise. The existing random commands in the code are added to by the programmer during the performance, adding to the available scope of reaction from the guitarist as they adapt and respond to the sounds made by the computer.
