Creating music with Clojure and Overtone

You are invited for another event in the Manchester Geek Nights series. This time we will going to host Chris Ford, who's going to talk about how to make music using Clojure and Overtone. The event will take place Wednesday, 23rd of July starting at 6:45 PM in ThoughtWorks office, in City Tower.

About the talk:

Chris Ford will show how to make music with Clojure, starting with the basic building block of sound, the sine wave, and gradually accumulating abstractions culminating in a canon by Johann Sebastian Bach. There may even be some live performance at the end...

Bio:

Chris has been fascinated by functional programming since he first stumbled across Haskell during a misguided attempt to study electrical engineering. He learned Clojure literally so that he could play with the Overtone music library.
Chris has worked for ThoughtWorks in London, Bangalore and Kampala, and now cuts Clojure code on a project in Glasgow.

PLEASE NOTE:
Our office is at 26th floor. The city tower closes the front doors at 7PM. So please don't be late.

We will have networking time starting with 6.30PM.
