+# BuboQuark
+
+### What is this?
+
+BuboQuark is a collection of methods and hacks I have found to make _live
+coding_ easier on SuperCollider. Since the Quark itself does not bring
+much value and does not change SuperCollider radically, I have thought about
+creating this website to document my findings and help other people get started.
+This small website takes inspiration from [how to co34pt livecode](https://github.com/theseanco/howto_co34pt_liveCode), another great read.
+BuboQuark, thus, can be said to be:
+
+- a small Quark to setup SuperCollider for _live coding_ and sound exploration.
+- a companion tutorial website to learn how to use that setup and SuperCollider.
+
+BuboQuark can be thought of as my personal SuperCollider configuration. It twists it just enough simply for my own convenience. Internally, it relies a lot on JITLib, Patterns and NodeProxies. It truly feels like a collection of tips and hacks found on the internet.
+
+### What does it talk about?
+
+I am a big fan of _live coding_ and I have been practicing it for a while. I
+have created the [Sardine](https://sardine.raphaelforment.fr) and
+[Topos](https://topos.live) live coding environments. Writing code to make music
+live is part of my daily musical practice. Like anybody else, I like to have
+many different tools to make music. I have been using SuperCollider for a long
+time, but most of the time using it as an audio backend and talking to it
+through Python, Haskell, JavaScript and so on. I never really learned to play it live. I have some requirements for a tool to be usable in a live context and most specifically as a part of my musical practice:
+
+- I need a powerful sequencer / scheduler for musical events
+- I need to be able to talk with other softwares / devices easily
+- I need a playground for audio synthesis and experimenting with sounds
+- I need to be able to play with my friends and synchronize easily
+
+Everything else is accessory and I can easily live without it (graphical
+interfaces, widgets, etc). SuperCollider, out of the box, ticks all the boxes. I
+can do everything using just that tool and it's a great thing since it is
+available on most platforms and doesn't consume a lot of resources by default.
+
+### What music can I make using it?
+
+My interest for electronic music ranges from experimental and noise to [Algorave](https://algorave.com) club-like music. I also like to slice sounds, to play around with oscillators, filters, delays and modular synths. Consequently, you will find a lot about this here and not so much about traditional music production or composition.
