With the right instrument everyone is musical. Could code be yours? Imagine the music you could create with the expressive power of code. Make it your 2025 resolution to get started with this friendly introductory course.

AI doesn’t create slop, laziness creates slop. I haven’t written a single line of code in a year. Yet I created & deployed SuperSonic, Sonic Pi v5 & Sonic Pi Web with no issues. If you’re incredibly disciplined & still have a learning mindset you can engineer amazing things.

If your favourite programming consultants are ranting about the transformative potential of AI but aren’t producing incredible awe-inspiring next-level work with it - why are you listening to them? Seriously.

What’s this? A “QR Code Link” you say? Yes, it’s Sonic Pi code encoded into a url that opens ready for you to read, play and edit in Sonic Pi in your browser. Share your live coded tracks with greater ease!

AI is enabling me to do what I would have been able to achieve with a team. It’s amazing. Turns out the last 10 years have been me desperately treading water on my own trying to keep afloat financially whilst simultaneously attempting to do deep experimental programming work.
