This is how Sonic Pi was created - until of course the purse-holders started encroaching on my freedoms and rolling them back.

I hope to get back to that way of being one day in the future.

I'm halfway there again thanks to the wonderful people supporting me on Patreon.

Hey, I made some visuals for a pretty big screen! 🙌

About last night... in case you missed the #KafkaSummit Party, we had the incredibly talented DJ Sam Aaron (@samaaron.bsky.social) back on the beat with live code in real-time using @SonicPi ⤵️

Always a pleasure to see Sam Aaron (@samaaron.bsky.social) work his magic with Sonic Pi at #kafkasummit

Cars in the U.K are up to 55% larger today than they were in the 1970s and there are twice the number of cars on the U.K's roads as there were 30 years ago, but BBC News (UK) are still running articles claiming that a handful of cycle lanes and LTNs 'cause congestion' in London.

Here's a blast from the past - I just republished a video I made in 2011 demonstrating Overtone - the Clojure-based live coding system I was working on way back when.

Fun fact - I used Overtone as an architectural blueprint for much of Sonic Pi's core.

I'm excited for my future knowing I have a massive monthly pension of £145 to look forward to on top of the already overwhelmingly large state pension.

Just had some feedback from pupils in our Sonic Pi workshop (s3's) The pupils got a 'whole class merrit' due to their concentration, engagement & hard work.
#SonicPi is an amazing tool for #music #coding but above all #PupilEngagement cheers to Aberdeenshire Council for the funding

Music and art is at least if not *more* important than Maths in schools.

The easiest way to use Sonic Pi on Linux is to install the flatpak (flathub.org/apps/net.sonic…)

Twitting about it because it's not mentioned on the website.
