On: Sonic Pi: Compose electronic music with code

[thisismitch]

Prior to my career as a software engineer, I attended RubyConf (2015, San Antonio) and watched a presentation about making music with Sonic Pi. That night, I made this rendition of "Corridors of Time" from Chrono Trigger: https://gist.github.com/thisismitch/be9287c80903cad151fe

It took me way longer than I'd like to admit! Enjoy!

Edit: Here's an MP3 export of it https://soundcloud.com/mitchell-anicas-project/corridors-of-... for easier listening.

Love the Chrono Trigger OST.

Interestingly enough, someone made a remix of this song back in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiy_wuncQ7s

Well done! Was this project one of your introductions into programming?

Not exactly—I actually got a CS degree back in 2005 but got into sysadmin work. I started at DigitalOcean as a technical writer (tutorials) in 2014 then, after 18 months of writing, brushed up on my skills by working on side projects and pairing weekly with one of DO’s engineering managers.
