Check out this song I made using Sonic Pi. Any feedback would be appreciated. Other than the vocals, I only used built-in synths and samples. I aspire to perform some original songs using live coding at gigs one day and am also interested in connecting with others with interest/experience as well.
Also, I uploaded a few other experiments to check out as well (Underwater being a favorite).
Feel free to take a listen 
Up for sharing the code too? 
Here is the code for “Dispensible.” The sample I used can be found here:

Here is the code for “Underwater.” I replaced my external samples with some built-in samples that still sound dope to me.
mul = 140/60.0
live_loop :drum do
with_bpm_mul mul do
with_fx :rlpf, amp: 3 do
with_fx :distortion do
with_fx :ixi_techno, phase: 8, cutoff_min: 20, cutoff_max: 100, phase_offset: 0.1 do
in_thread do
##| s = dir, "kayne", "percussion", 1
s = :perc_snap
a = {rate: -1}
sleep 0.4
sample s, a
sleep 0.25*3
sample s, a
sleep 0.25*4
sample s, a
end
in_thread do
##| stop
##| s = dir, "kayne", "snare", 4
s = :sn_dolf
sleep 0.25
sample s
sleep 0.25*3
sample s
sleep 0.25*2
sample s
sleep 0.25*3
sample s
sleep 0.25*2
sleep 0.25*2
##| sample $BASS, 4
end
in_thread do
##| stop
##| s = dir, "kayne", "bass", 4
s = :bd_haus
sample s
sleep 0.25*3
sample s
sleep 0.25*2
sample s
sleep 0.25*3
sample s
sleep 0.25*2
sample s
sleep 0.25*2
end
sleep 2
end
end
end
end
end
Hello and thank you for the music.
Unfortunately the link to your sample file
does not work (any more).
Would you mind to provide
a new one?
Thank you!
