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. sonic-pi-studio.teachable.co…

The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge

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.

What's this? Another screen shot of Sonic Pi v5? Oh no my friend... This is a completely new implementation of Sonic Pi running live in my web browser running on top of SuperSonic. Coming soon to a browser near you...

A quick demo of Sonic Pi controlling VST plugins. Note that it's not just trigging like a MIDI track, it's also algorithmically controlling the controls (cutoff in this example).

Not sure why but Sonic Pi is on the front page of Hacker News again! Please join in the discussion in the comments :-) news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

I currently have a working experimental build of Sonic Pi that has support for VST plugins. My current plan is to release it as Sonic Pi Pro exclusively available to Patreon supporters only. It’s going to be a complete game changer.

I might be working on a completely new audio DSP engine that combines my favourite parts of SuperCollider and Erlang…

I’m really honoured that the School of Computer Science at The University of Sheffield have extended my Visiting Scholar status for a further 3 years. I look forward to deepening the collaboration & continuing my research into expressive programming langs for music & education.

It’s been over 2 weeks since Sonic Pi v5 was released and still no major issues found. I’m still over the moon that the release has gone so smoothly. github.com/sonic-pi-net/soni…

@samaaron closes Code BEAM Europe 2026 with "The Phone Orchestra" - an interactive session turning the whole audience into a live-coded phone orchestra using SuperSonic & Phoenix PubSub. Bring a charged phone & don't turn the volume down!

It’s been a week since Sonic Pi v5 released with over 90 improvements & no major issues. This is especially poignant given the switch to SuperSonic. I’m over the moon that such a major engineering overhaul has gone so smoothly. github.com/sonic-pi-net/soni…
