Kneading Patterns: Live Coding in Strudel

Hour: 11:00
Capacity: 15
Price: €80,00
This beginner-friendly workshop introduces Strudel as a browser-based live coding environment for making musical patterns with code. Using the metaphor of kneading dough, participants will learn how small musical ideas can be shaped, stretched, folded, layered, and transformed over time. We will move through the basics of Strudel’s pattern language, explore rhythm and repetition, experiment with live transformations, and learn how to bring sounds into Strudel using built-in samples and imported audio.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to create basic Strudel patterns, understand how cycles and mini-notation work, transform patterns through repetition and variation, use built-in sample banks, import or access external sounds, and perform a short evolving live-coded musical sketch. Participants should bring a laptop and headphones. No installation is required.
