I always wanted to try tidal cycles but the setup always seemed daunting (at least when I last looked). This is pretty cool

#22For a much more open ended (but advanced) option, one can run Csound live in the browser too now over WASM.
For some music ed stuff I work on, I actually have s7 Scheme in WASM controlling csound in WASM, both were surprisingly easy to get going!

#23Strudel is a JavaScript port of TidalCycles (Haskell). While TC uses SuperCollider for the synthesis, Strudel uses superdough which seems to be a custom implementation. I'm currently learning SuperCollider sclang and waiting for a version upgrade to have a reason to submit it here - usually some of the discussion is quite insightful. Anyway sclang is the PHP of music - just uglier and less consistent. But it's also p…
When I last played with SuperCollider I used Overtone, that wraps everything in a Closure API. With that you use s-expressions instead of sclang to define your sounds. I am not sure what the state of Overtone is these days, but there seems to still be some activity: https://overtone.github.io/

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
This was one of my favorites -- with the voice filter the narration feels like it's part of the song which I found especially fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWXCCBsOMSg
That channel has been all over my recommendations, it's awesome so much skill!
Me too! Came on YouTube feed today. Blown the fuck away. I Google Strudel REPL to learn more and found this thread as well. :)
So stoked to play with this.

#25It's cool and all, and I like it. I have TidalCycles installed and have played around with it.
My only criticism is it makes music feel like CSS. In some ways it helps with theory, yes, but the DX is more like Tailwind.

#26is it still possible to run the latest version in appimage on linux? only found this version, it's from 2023: https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/strudel-0-8-0-released/4769
i remember seing a .appimage hosted on github in the releases, but they moved to a new host now
oh and if you don't know what inspired the name of the software ; a strudel is really yummy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strudel

It will explain the process DJDave uses to create music under strudel

#29Oh and there is flok[1] which combines the strudel repl with visuals from hydra. Also there are sclang and other algorave environments available. Everything is synced (with crdts i guess) so it’s live collaborative. Which is nice to remotely jam with friends [1] https://flok.cc
And quite new dilber.io: https://github.com/Omodaka9375/Dilber

#30This being text based makes it really easy to have AI generate the music. Now waiting for Strudel agent that will transcribe music into strudel notation.
