A special event organized by IRCAM in which CreativeCodeParis was invited to participate.
The event was focused on Web Audio with speakers from around the world as a part of Alex Ruthmann residency and Vertigo Forum :
The event took place from 10 am to 1 pm, in the IRCAM auditorium, and brought together a large number of speakers on the theme of coding for play and musical learning.
Big thanks to Alex Ruthmann, who is the initiator of the meeting, to Emilie Zawadzki, who coordinated the event with a master's hand, to Guillaume Pellerin, great magician of the WebAudio API and organizer of the ParisAudio meetup, and to all the IRCAM team who greeted us with great kindness.
