In his latest online lecture, our co-founder, Avi, taught us how to code his favorite Taylor Swift song: “Shake it Off.” Using Ruby code and Sonic Pi – a live coding synth used by beginner students and pro musicians alike – he showed us how to use methods and other coding basics to program the song: everything from the harmony and melody to the volume and tempo
Throughout my life, I’ve always experienced code as a creative endeavor,” says Avi. “It’s not just about building apps, it’s also a medium to express an idea or model a phenomenon in the world around you.”
If you want to recreate Taylor's “Shake it Off” yourself or even program your own favorite song, check out the recorded lecture!
