[https://tidalcycles.org/blog/tidal\_profile\_heavylifting](https://tidalcycles.org/blog/tidal_profile_heavylifting) Lucy gives us a deep-dive into her `from-scratch` livecoding process - from choosing samples and editing, to experimentation, going through "the entire Tidal documentation" (wow!), and building sketches (Tidal code samples included). It is a wonderful view into live coding as a complete process - and along the way we get anecdotes, some history and a style that is funny, vulnerable, and full of conviction. She also provides some nice sample files via Google drive - plunder away! Are you a blank-screener? Are you a `(not) from-scratch` livecoder? Either way - you should read this and think about it. Check it out! Add your comments - what are your thoughts on `from-scratch` coding? --- _[View the full topic](https://uzu.lurk.org/t/blog-post-working-with-samples-the-heavy-lifting-way/4643)._
