Description:

The Live Coding Music Synth for Everyone.

Sonic Pi is a _new kind of musical instrument_. Instead of strumming
strings or whacking things with sticks - you write code - LIVE.

Sonic Pi has been designed with the aim to find a harmonious balance
between three core principles:

- SIMPLE enough for the 10 year old within you
- JOYFUL enough for you to lose yourself through play
- POWERFUL enough for your own expressions

Sonic Pi is a complete open source programming environment originally
designed to explore and _teach programming concepts_ within schools
through the process of creating _new sounds_.

In addition to being an engaging education resource it has evolved into
an _extremely powerful_ and performance-ready _live coding instrument_
suitable for professional artists and DJs.

Whilst Education is a core focus it now sits at the intersection between
three core domains:

- ART - providing the means to express yourself and ask new questions
of music and notation
- TECHNOLOGY - exploring questions related to liveness, time and
concurrency in programming languages
- EDUCATION - demonstrating that open play rather than rigid
structures increases motivation and engagement in the classroom

Again, finding a balance working to the best benefits of all these
domains is the objective.
