This #ILoveFS Day, I want to thank the Rubén Rodríguez for his work on #Trisquel, the #Inkscape devs for their work, #KDE, @fsf @fsfe @walterbender for his work on #MusicBlocks ...the list goes on and on (and obviously is incomplete). Basically, if you are working on #FreeSoftware in some capacity, then "Thank you!"

This Valentine's Day, all you need is #love... and #code... and #music! Check out today's special post featuring #ValentinesDay-related Music Blocks projects that you can try (and remix) for yourself: https://musicblocks.net/2023/02/14/all-you-need-is-love-and-code-and-music/ #MusicBlocks #MusicPlusMath #MusicPlusCode #Fun #valentinesday2023 💕

Project inspired by a "circle of fifths" poster seen at a middle school band class.

Curious what a "fractal snowflake" ❄️ looks and sounds like? The only thing that could make this proposition better is having a mouse draw it. 🐭

We've got you covered. 😀

We have been working to implement a new feature in #MusicBlocks! The new "chord" block allows you to create triads, sevenths, and other chords.

Combining this block with other blocks is a very powerful way to structure your musical ideas. This video is a test of the new block. It plays through nine specified chord shapes in C major, going up and down the scale so you can hear the character of each shape.

We hope to share some more projects using this new block soon!

Number eleven from "Twenty things to do with a computer" is "make a music box and program a tune." Here we are, fifty years later, continuing to program tunes, now with Music Blocks. Need I say more? Join us in the fun and discovery! Ref: https://musicblocks.net/2021/11/28/celebrating-50-years-of-20-things-to-do-with-a-computer/ #musicblocks #musicpluscode

Today I found out about 2 unrelated, amazing projects both called #MusicBlocks.
1) https://musicblocks.net/ is an #opensource browser based programming sandbox for exploring musical concepts and theory.

2) The Music Blocks podcast is a series of short 5 minute podcast that explores how musicians all over the world express different emotions and intents. https://www.cpr.org/podcast/music-blocks/

Music Blocks was featured in this week's edition of FLOSS weekly. Check it out at https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/714?autostart=false

@walterbender and I introduce Music Blocks and its various lesson plans; discuss the connections between music, math, and programming; and have an overall good time with our hosts, Doc Searls and Dan Lynch. Enjoy! #MusicPlusCode #FLOSS #FreeSoftware #MusicBlocks

@benoit @codewiz Right now, Sugar Labs is focusing on building SOAS (Sugar On a Stick), a live OS on a USB concept, using Sugar Desktop Environment based on a #Fedora image (https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/soas/) .

Along with that, the rising new developments are "#Musicblocks", (https://musicblocks.sugarlabs.org/) an interesting tool to create music using block programming, and "#Sugarizer" (https://try.sugarizer.org/) , a web+android+iOS framework which helps kids use #Sugar on many modern devices ✨🚀
