About
TidalCycles (or Tidal for short) is a free/open source software project, and in particular a live coding environment for exploring pattern. It's used by a large community of people from around the world.
Tidal has been largely developed by volunteers and students, with some funding support for example from crowdfunders contributing to the founding developer Alex McLean's ko-fi page (now shut down), and from the Google Summer of Code initiative.
Strudel is a sibling project that began as an experimental port of Tidal's 'pattern engine' to javascript by Alex, which was then quickly picked up by Felix Roos and later Jade Rowland and many other contributors, and developed into a fully fledged, accessible live coding environment for the web browser, including synthesis engine.
As the Tidal and Strudel communities grow, this opencollective fund will accept donations towards development and documentation initiatives, travel costs and potentially artist development opportunities. The overall aims will be:
* To develop free/open source software that reimagines computer programming as a live interface for musicians and other artists to creatively explore patterns.
* To make the software more accessible, including through documentation, translation and design, and encourage contributions from more people
* To foster a community of contributors and other users from diverse backgrounds.
