I found the reading made me critically consider how complex live coding is, especially in relation to software engineering. Having a SWE background myself, I primarily saw programming as a way to fulfill requirements and the trial and error involved were always roadblocks to the end goal of creating a program that meets certain specifications. However, working in Hydra and TidalCycles, I found myself agreeing with the idea that the process of trial and error leads to roadblocks but also innovation. I may have a certain sound I’m trying to create, but in trying to do so, I may create a completely different sound I enjoy and incorporate into my final piece. The idea of no-how adds to this, with uncertainty of how something might look or sound comes new innovation and avenues of artistic expression.
