Most people intuitively understand birdsong as a form of music, yet the practical and artistic pressures on bird musicians are very different to those on human artists. In this talk, we will transcribe birdsong into code and use it to investigate how birds' musical structures differ from our own. In doing so, we will take advantage our ability to create novel and context-specific abstractions in code, which is not possible in traditional music notation.

Chris has coded both correct and incorrect programs for many years, although he prefers the former. He has also coded both correct and incorrect musical compositions for many years, though he doesn’t really mind which. As well as a longstanding interest in functional programming, types and continuous delivery, Chris is always interested in learning better ways to write programs that do what they are supposed to do. He is Director de Tecnología for Thoughtworks España based in Barcelona.
