Check out this Indonesian melody project in Music Blocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Te1MG9FMHY

It showcases a melody in various permutations, such as inverted and retrograde, The captivating melody is a pentatonic subset of the Locrian mode, using pitches E, F, G, B, and C. Enjoy!

I used Music Blocks today to figure out a complicated rhythm (3/4 divided into eight equal divisions and then back into 3/4).

Here's a video of me doing it: https://youtu.be/Tiw-tV-YCXM

Did you know that Music Blocks has a feature to generated visual code from text-based ABC notation?

Last year, Abhijeet Singh developed a way to take ABC notation and transform it into musical code you can use in your Music Blocks (MB) projects. Need a little inspiration? You can now drag and drop some ABC notation from their website into MB.

Sugar Labs executive director Devin Ulibarri (@pikurasa) participated this morning in the hackathon workshop for the Reimagine Africa Conference, hosted in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

He showed Music Blocks visual programming, talked about Constructionism and education, and watched student presentations. Bravo everybody!

There's some clever ways that one can code "The ABC Song". Here's a version that organizes the form via subroutines, uses conditional to capture the slight variation in rhythm, and loads all the lyrics into a heap to be called during musical playback.

Didn't think there could be so much in this seemingly simple tune, did you?

And here's the "making of" video, for anyone who wants to watch how the program was made: https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=PklYj6JDtik

I used Music Blocks's in-app screen recorded to make the video, and then I ran the following ffmpeg command:

ffmpeg -r:v "375/1" -i making-ada-zangemann.webm -an -r:v "30/1" making-ada-zangemann-fast.webm

Please help us welcome this summer’s Google Summer of Code team for Music Blocks development.

This summer, we have three projects that explore using generative AI to help teachers and learners with creating musical code, as well as transcribing musical ideas and making lesson plans. We also have one project to create a new, totally revamped “version 4” of the visual programming language.
