[Off-ICMC] Workshop: Code the Beat – Learn to Code through Music

In this workshop, you will compose your own music using the program Sonic Pi. Are you passionate about music? Then you’ll discover a new form of expression while learning to code. You already know a little bit about coding? Then you’ll get to know music-making from a different perspective. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have composed a song and learned something new about coding. 

For children and teenagers from age 10 to 14.
Registration required here 

The Off-ICMC

Music is what brings us together, even when everything else pulls us apart.
Music everywhere—it is part of our everyday lives. And yet, we’re hearing it performed live on analog instruments less and less. Instead, it often reaches us through speakers or headphones, as files, from the cloud. What does music mean to you? What does it sound like today? Where does it begin—and where does it end?
The ligeti center invites you to listen more closely and discover new sounds—to explore, experiment, and play. This year, ICMC HAMBURG 2026 revives an old tradition: the Off-ICMC, a free and accompanying festival curated for the general public and anyone curious about computer music.

All Off-ICMC events are free of charge.
