Cut from a live coding session in SonicPi. My mind needs to wander a bit. It’s just some scaling, some notes and two synths (tb303, detuned saw waves), but somehow reminds me of 80’s songs.
Unfortunately I can’t give you a video of me playing it, but you can find a small canovaccio to start experimenting.
