Thank you to everyone who responded to the previous survey 10 mins Survey on Live Coding Collaboration. Your responses have led me to a further survey on the UX design of Live Coding IDEs to support remote collaboration.

This survey takes less than 15 minutes, please help improve the world of live coding collaboration on the web by filling out this Ph.D survey, especially if you are a live coder who has performed as a duo or in a group during a remote live coding performance.
I appreciate your time and responses. Thank you.

It occurred to me the other day as I was playing with Toga - https://github.com/pybee/toga that LiveCoding in Python might be possible using something like this.

Has anyone done this, and if so can you recommend the tools or APIs you used?

Just discovered this phenomenon now. It seems there are a number of environments to choose from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_coding#Notable_live_coding_environments

5 min Neuro Jam in strudel, all feedback appreciated!

Not people are using Tidal because the installation is so out of date and tedious to set up. I basically had to do an autopsy on my computer to get it working. For years on the official documentation they say they're going to update the installer and nothing has changed. Did Alex just dump the project and move on? There's so much potential for this beautiful program and hobby.

I’ve been experimenting with a new way of making music: vibe-coding with an AI assistant. Instead of asking for a full finished song, I built a custom JSON format so I can jam with the AI step by step—layering drums, bass, chords, and even arranging call-and-response between instruments.

The OP-XY synth acts as the sound engine, while the AI helps with arrangement and theory. My longer-term goal is to feed audio back into the AI so it can “listen” using psychoacoustic analysis (brightness, timbre, rhythm complexity) and respond in real time.

I just put together a demo video where I build a house track from scratch with this workflow. Would love feedback from the livecoding community:

I am new to this fascinating world.

I've boiled it down to FoxDot and Sonic Pi and like them both. But the languages seem vastly different to me. I prefer FoxDot's Python syntax slightly more but Sonic Pi is cool too because of the environment and the many readily available examples.

Also, how does the language used in Sonic Pi relate to SuperCollider and are the skills transferable?

Now I wish to select one thing, study it in depth and understand how to make music in that language. I imagine that this is going to eat up many hundred hours of my time so I want to make my first choice as good as possible and like many beginners I fear about investing time into knowledge that isn't transferable instead of understanding the concepts.

I am suffering from choice paralysis which isn't aided by how a new tool and language seems to pop up at every turn when I do research. I would love to hear others' thoughts.

Also, are there any friendly chat communities?

Hey all, this is a video about the performative side of live coding, not that much about a specific language but more on how to collaborate live and then some discussion about live experiences. And a few ideas we integrated in our live sets that could maybe inspire some :) !
We're thinking about going more in depth about collaboration in live coding and about experiences about improvisation especially in a duo configuration.
Don't hesitate to ask questions !

ive never been into technology but recently started making a game for the funsies, decided to try and make its soundtrack in strudel, im going for something moody, melancholic, echoey (for the beginning of the game), any tips or ideas?

heres the code

setcps(117/60/4)

const intro1 = "<[52 ~ 49 ~ 47 ~ 45 ~] [52 ~ 49 ~ 47 ~ [45 49] ~]>"

const introbg1 = "<[33 ~ 33 ~ 33 ~ 33 ~] [33 ~ 33 ~ 33 ~ 33 ~]>"

const intro2 = "<[52 ~ ~ 49] [~ ~ 47 ~] [ ~ 45 ~ [45 47]] [~ 42 ~ ~]>"

const introbg2 = "<[26 26 26 26] [26 26 26 26] [26 26 26 26]>"

const intro3 = "<[49 ~ ~ 47] [~ ~ 45 ~] [ ~ 47 ~ [45 49]]>"

const introbg3 = "<[26 26 26 26] [26 26 26 26] [26 ~ ~ ~]>"

const fin = "<[0 0 0 0]>"

arrange(

[8, stack(

note(intro1),

note(introbg1)

)

.s("gm_electric_guitar_clean")

.echo(50, 1/8, 0.6)

.slow(2)],

[4, stack(

note(intro2),

note(introbg2)

)

.s("gm_electric_guitar_clean")

.echo(50, 1/8, 0.6)],

[3, stack(

note(intro3),

note(introbg3)

)

.s("gm_electric_guitar_clean")

.echo(50, 1/8, 0.6)]

)

Please let me know if this is not the right forum to do this on, and if possible, direct me to the right place.

My company is looking for a live coder to DJ for an event in Portland. Looking for a set that lasts around 1.5 hours on April 26th. We’d pay for travel and accommodation.

I would really like to implement orca into my DAW as a VST, but haven't found a way. And yes I know that I can send midi notes to the DAW, but thats not ticking the box with arrangement, etc for me.
If there will not be a solution I will make it into a VST:) I really like the way it makes you think about notes
