Abstract

With the development of computer technologies, there is a rapid development of applied music based on computer technology: music for computer games, for advertising, for voicing household and other equipment, music in movies and animations, TV music, and academic music. This indicates the relevance of such an area of use of information technologies as program (algorithmic) sound synthesis, and the need for schoolchildren to familiarize themselves with this promising IT area. The fact that music and mathematics are interconnected has been known since ancient times. Now we can observe the close connection of music and informatics. And not just the processing of music in synthesis programs, but the programmatic creation of music using code. The article shows the relationship of musical art with the art of programming, considers the concept of the Sonic Pi audio programming environment, demonstrates the main features of this environment, language tools for programming algorithms, data structures and musical compositions in Ruby.
