Lyrics:
## What kind of song do you sing when you don't have a tune in
mind?
## What kind of song do you sing when you're trying to pass some
time
## I just wanna move my lips until I believe in something
## I just wanna move my hips until I'm somewhere new
## This is a song to sing to remember how to sing
## This is a song to sing - just trying to get by
## This is a song to sing to remember how to be alive
## - just trying to get by
Melody Loveless - "Song to Sing" [[ Version #1: original + simple ~]]
A casual take of an original song that I created and live coded using Sonic Pi called "Song to Sing". This song is about being in quarantine, the year 2020, and trying to make music to pass time.
I'm live coding music using Sonic Pi (https://sonic-pi.net/), a live coding synth based on Ruby. The sounds are being generated by Sonic Pi (which is powered by Super Collider) and Ableton (which is receiving MIDI from Sonic Pi). I'm also recording my voice into Sonic Pi and using code to manipulate how it's played back.
