This year, I'll be at the Bett Show as part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's Hub. Myself and other teachers/educators will be showcasing Sonic Pi through a number of workshops and talks alongside a range of other classroom activities from introductory level to advanced teaching, demonstrating the benefits of Raspberry Pi in education.

If you're coming along to Bett - be sure to come and say hello. Just listen out for the big bass and crazy synth sounds...

With the release of Sonic Pi v2.2 Robin Newman thought it was time that he coded up some more Bach. Here's the Gigue in G Minor from English Suite number 3 with all the background, code, audio and links to samples used.

Hacker news is one of the premier news sites for programmers and Sonic Pi was featured on the front page this week which drove a lot of interest and traffic our way.

Joe Armstrong, one of the creators of the fantastic distributed and concurrent programming language Erlang talks about hooking up Erlang to Sonic Pi via its programming interface. I expect we'll start to see more programming languages interact with Sonic Pi directly in this manner. Imagine a Scratch interface...

'Loopi' by MrUnderwood is one of the Pop Pi music videos from the Sonic Pi: Live and Coding project. Check it out for a hypnotic sonic experience!

Jan Werder has composed and shared a lovely ambient piece of music. The source code is also available: https://github.com/JanWerder/music/blob/master/stenodus_leucichthys.rb

@sonic_pi i’m hypnotised by the live_loop… I’ll write a simple thing such as https://t.co/sn2zFGvjHb and i can’t stop playing with it...

Every time I sit down to get some coding done I think "I'll just make myself a background track in @sonic_pi". Many hours later...

Don’t forget to submit your entries to the @sonic_pi competition this week! Prizes up 4 grabs http://t.co/1TTUHZIZf1

@sonic_pi is a wonderful validation of both ruby and supercollider”

Finally, here's a link to a wonderful free resource: How to Make a Noise: a Comprehensive Guide to Synthesizer Programming by Simon Cann. It's a fantastic book jam packed with everything you wanted to know about synthesisers (and more).
