Teen Music Night!
When Coded Beats Come Alive!
Wednesday, July 28, 6 pm. Register.
This Wednesday, come and learn how to code a beat in Tunepad using Python. Then have your creation played by a live band! This event was designed to introduce youth to coding or enhance their knowledge in a fun way. This is also designed to show rising teen composers and producers how their digital creations could exist beyond their laptops and iPads, to show them how they could be transformed from digital to organic. We also welcome spoken word artists who want to recite with a live band. This event is for coders and artists ranging from 6th to 12th grade.
6 pm to 7 pm: Youth will learn how to code beats in Tunepad with Michael Stephen Horn and his team.
7 pm to 8 pm: Youth can submit their creations to live musicians to hear some version of it played live!
Hosted by EPL and Northwestern University's TIDAL Lab.
