I wrote a little thing at the intersection of creative writing and creative coding, it's called "Do Not Come" https://giampaolo.guiducci.it/posts/2026-05-18-do-not-come/ #supercollider
Do Not Come

My dear M.M., generous and distant friend, I have received your gift! What magic lies in this Carillon you have bestowed upon me — I am most grateful. You know how dearly I love both music and mechanisms, and so this has been the perfect gift. I spent hours opening it and closing it, and you can imagine my astonishment when I realized it required no winding, no mechanical charge of any kind, and yet it could play without cease for hours, then days… and further, that each time I opened it, it would generate a different melody, despite departing always from the same fixed selection of notes. What a wonder of craft and of art!

@draco Since I'm a little familiar with the basics of #SuperCollider, I'd be interested in a workshop on the spatial distribution of sound. And reverb / delay.

I'm tempted to include a handful of ever-so-slightly more advanced things: maybe reverb or delay, maybe buses (to route sound to reverb/delay), maybe even a sample player or wavetable synth.

The one stipulation I would keep is using the core library only.

What are your thoughts?

#SuperCollider pedagogy question: In the past, I have included a very brief (under 2 minutes) example composition in my workshops, sort of as a "this is what you can do with  " appetizer.

I'm rethinking how simple I should keep it. The one sample composition I made for my workshop last year doesn't thrill me very much. On the other hand, I intentionally confined it to skills that don't go far beyond what I teach in my 2-hour workshops.

I can't believe it but my performance system M.A.S.S. is now finally ready to play live. It's an algorithmic/generative system for improvising electronic music.

World premiere next week in Aarhus, Denmark.

best resources to learn #supercollider from?
i only have experience with DAWs and grooveboxes so this is a new frontier for me

So my workshop proposal for this year's Gulaschprogrammiernacht was accepted. Now I guess I need to prepare my  workshop and actually start reading the textbook by Eli Fieldsteel that I finally have in my possession.

Is it possible to embed an image in a SuperCollider help file?

How?

Edit: the answer lurks in the helpfile SCDoc Syntax, which is prominently linked from the Writing Help file, so I have none to blame but myself.
