Confluence of Code and Classical Music: Ragas, Bach & Sonic Pi - Nanditi Khilnani - ADCx India 2024

In this talk, we delve into the surprising parallels between the worlds of code and classical music, uncovering the shared attributes that connect these seemingly disparate domains. Both code and classical music are driven by structure, precision, and creativity, demanding a similar mental landscape and cognitive approach.

Drawing inspiration from both Western and Indian classical music traditions, we discover the invaluable compositional methodologies and rules hidden within these musical forms. We will explore how these time-tested principles can seamlessly translate into algorithms that could be innovative co-composers in the process of music creation.

Using Sonic Pi, we’ll demo some Baroque compositional methodologies like Canons, Retrograde Inversions & Fugues as well as algorithmic Raga-based improvisations to realise how code inherently lends itself as a fitting medium for classical compositions and how this combination births some effective melody-making processes.
