In this episode, I am talking to Dr. Sam Aaron, the creator of Sonic Pi. Sonic Pi is a code-based music creation and performance tool.

Sam is the creator of Sonic Pi, and also an educator, musician, and was previously also a researcher at the University of Cambridge in the UK. He has created and contributed to an impressive array of open source projects - just one of them is Sonic Pi, which we\\u2019re focusing on for this episode.\\xa0

Sonic Pi, is an essential part of the so-called live coding music scene and\\xa0 was originally built and designed specifically for education. The fact that it is now an important part of the live coding scene plays a huge role for education, too, as many of the children in workshops or at school will find it super inspiring and motivational to know that some of the top artists in this genre are making use of Sonic Pi. In the shownotes, I\\u2019ll put a link to a recent article in the NY Times that describes this fascinating development of the music scene.
