Ode to Code

This song was heard for the first time in 2015 during the Europe Code Week. It has been shown to cause strange effects each time it is heard in public. Such effects are documented in many videos that were taken since then.

The song and all the various audio loops are usable as soundtracks for any kind of video (spots, short films, dance, presentations, time lapses), to create your own jingles, to accompany audio messages or any other initiative that’s part of Europe Code Week or similar digital literacy campaigns aimed at the diffusion of computational thinking skills.

The song:

This is the whole song. Use it as-is to accompany your videos.
