strudel.cc Live Coding Workshop at W&P:
The first half of this workshop will be a thorough introduction to strudel.cc, a popular and actively developed live coding environment.
The second half of this workshop will be more open, and cover more advanced/technical aspects of strudel,
including ways to extend strudel, ways to integrate strudel with other tools, live performance techniques, and more.

Will Rinkoff is an electronic musician and programmer currently based out of LA. He uses Tidalcycles, Supercollider, Neovim and Strudel to produce and perform music, and has been for 6 years.
