In this workshop, live coder Joanne Armitage will show participants how to get started making music with code in SuperCollider. 

SuperCollider is a powerful open-source platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound. It is free and open source software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

This workshop requires no prior experience with either Supercollider or music production. The workshop is open to all backgrounds. We specially encourage women and non-binary participants to take part in the workshop.
