Vibe Coding Music with Strudel
Vibe coding means writing small lines of live code that loop and evolve into music. You don't write a whole song up front — you start one sound, hear it, tweak it, layer the next one, and keep going. Strudel is a free live-coding studio that runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to install.
Here's where you're headed. Press play on the panel below (the ▶ button, or click in the code and hit Ctrl+Enter). Then change a number and play again — it updates live.
How the panel works
Every panel on this page is a real instrument. Ctrl+Enter (or ▶) plays your code; Ctrl+. stops it. You can edit the code while it's playing and re-run to hear the change. Turn your volume up a touch.
You will need
- A web browser (Chrome, Firefox or Edge work best) — you're already in one.
- Speakers or headphones.
- About 30 minutes. No musical or coding experience needed.
