Tidal (they added cycles when the Tidal music service came afterwards) is great fun. I was hoping to get Hylogen working with it.

Hylogen is an EDSL for livecoding shaders in Haskell [1]

My weapon of choice is Extempore by Andrew Sorensen [1]. Dual languages in one system available for blistering speed in livecoded graphics and sound/music.

The ideas "Cyber-physical programming" around extempore seem interesting!

Livecoded visuals/sounds is something i have been doing with a livecoding tool that i develop where a graphical canvas is actually both, the audio spectrum and the visuals, all driven by a single GLSL fragment shader : https://www.fsynth.com

Andrew Sorensen's demo makes me wonder if classical music could be "decompiled" as a series of recursive functions, giving us a clear conceptual explanation of what is happening. Then, we could reverse the process to generate similar music, or explore variations.

There are very few classical pieces written devoid of a narrative.
