SuperCollider is an open source tool for sound synthesis and algorithmic composition. It is used for composition, generative music, installations, live coding, instrument building and very many other things. It is one of the most popular and widely used programming environments for audio work and is available for free for all platforms.

SuperCollider is useful for many things: algorithmic composition, generative music, live coding performances, in conjunction with microcontrollers and sensors, for installation work, multi-channel work, dsp, research, ambisonics or simply audio hacking.

At these online meetups, SuperCollider users of all skill levels come together to share ideas, frustrations, help each other and showcase projects and workflows in an inspiring and friendly way.

The host: 
The SuperCollider meetups are led by Mike McCormick. Mike McCormick is an artist and programmer working with sound, text and visual media. His work often combines algorithms and human performers. He works extensively with personal material, examining life through a voyeuristic lens to explore the ecstatic, the fragile and the banal. He grew up in Canada's subarctic region, lived nomadically for a decade, and has been based in Oslo since 2017.

Presentations 18.06.25

Lucile Rose Nihlen (she/her)
By day, Lucile is a technical lead on a compiler team at a large tech company. By night, she is the lead developer of Hadron (https://codeberg.org/hadron/hadron), a Rust re-implementation of SuperCollider. In her spare time she enjoys working on Hadron, martial arts, cooking and eating. She lives in a Toronto suburb with her wife, dog, and two cats.

In this talk Lucile will present an overview of Hadron (https://codeberg.org/hadron/hadron), an early work-in-progress Rust reimplementation of the SuperCollider interpreter, synthesiser, and development environment. She'll cover project plans for all the main components, current status, and some rough project plans. She'll give a short demo of the web deployment at https://hadron.run, followed by a call for volunteer contributors, and finishing with time for questions.

Julian Rohrhuber
Julian Rohrhuber works in an interdisciplinary field that combines philosophy, informatics, anthropology and art. Together with his students in Düsseldorf, he develops art as a form of theory as well as teaching as a mode of research. As a member of the community, Julian (telephon) has followed the development of SuperCollider for a long time, contributing both to its formal and improvisational character.

I have always found sound programming interesting as a way to learn by experiment, to collaborate and play with people in different disciplines. Helping out in the SuperCollider project has meant to contribute and develop ideas that come from my mixed background. For this presentation, I would like to focus on the early inspirations that led to the live coding movement in computer music and discuss what role they play in our work in the research in music informatics and epistemic media. Also, I would like to discuss conceptual decisions in the development of SuperCollider. If the audience is interested, we can touch upon some related topics covered in projects and publications.
