#Synthruary

Following up from genuary, let's do synthruary: creative coding and making things for sound each day in the month of February. 🎹🎛️🤖🔊⚡

This could include: websynths, modular, synth software, super collider, puredata, max, bash, arduino, building instruments, etc. Think of the themes of generative and interactive sound things, it's pretty open ended in terms of approaches and tools.

It's flexible, participate in a way that works best for you. Hop in for the dailies, or just for a day or two. So you can do one a week, work on the same thing over several days and share progress, or participate daily. Check in on how you feel along the way and note what gets you amped about this — be it learning, making things, having fun, etc. :)

You're invited to share what you make under the tags #synthruary and #synthruary2022 for others to find too.
