Alda: a music programming language with a functional backbone by @dave_yarwood - A bite-size excerpt of a talk I gave recently at Compose::Melbourne about Alda, a music composition programming language that I created in 2012. Alda allows you to express a musical score using a concise, beginner-friendly markup, but also offers the ability to generate your score by writing Clojure code alongside the markup. In this lightning talk version, I skip to the fun bits at the end of the talk and show you a few examples of how I compose music with Alda by using functional programming techniques.

Add in that the next billion folks coming online will come from increasingly diverse places and we've got the makings of a huge ethical challenge. The challenge you ask? Well, what is ethics in tech? Do we need an ethical code? Yes or no? This quick chat surveys the landscape of who is doing what in this space and why we need to step up and pay attention.
