pyka_loop 4.0.1

The pyka_loop environment represents an innovative approach to interactive sound, enabling users to craft compelling musical pieces from the diverse sounds present in their surroundings.

Designed to facilitate a more immediate, exploratory, and playful process for electronic music creation, pyka_loop allows users to record a wide range of sounds—from household noises to orchestral crescendos—and manipulate them through various gestures such as prod, push, pull, tap, twist, pinch, spin, slide, and squish. These interactions enable the user to transform loops and generate distinctive soundscapes.

Following a decade of conducting responsive workshops and interventions involving over 20,000 participants from various backgrounds, the platform has been refined into an environment that offers a novel engagement with sonic worlds. pyka_loop emphasizes an object-oriented approach to interactive sound and provides an unguided experience that fosters exploration and rewards curiosity.

Regardless of your prior experience with music production, pyka_loop is intentionally designed to be accessible and inclusive.

The development of pyka_loop has been supported by pyka, with funding from The Arts Council of Wales and the Welsh Government.
