Tri-beat Theory | May 2025
For my final project in Music Computing at Brooklyn College (Spring 2025), I used Python in EarSketch to code a track that blends hip hop, Latin, and funk vibes. I programmed different sounds, loops, and effects to bring the beat to life. It was a fun way to explore how coding and music can come together to create something original.
