Programmable Music Environment

Converts code into generated music on-the-fly. There’s a sub-genre of electronic music that uses programming tools at live shows where the musician grows the program by writing and reinterpreting code as the audience watches and listens.

Examples:

  • Tracker Music

    A form of music characterized by being made using tracker software such as the original Ultimate Soundtracker on Amiga or more modern Renoise. In a tracker, notes are laid out vertically with each column as a track and using letters/numbers to represent a note and parameters. Each point in time is a discrete row so playback continuously scrolls vertically.
