The Notation classity of music practices as stylism, traditionalism and restructuralism. Notation in live coding allows us to play with parameters. It gives more possibilities for people to compose music. Also the author mentions the ephemeral nature of live coding. Some live coders will not save their code after the performance. This led me to ask, since Live Coding is not the same as traditional music production, and since it allows more people to create music through Live Coding, can this form of music production be called “creative”? Recently, Live Ableton released its thirteenth version, with a large amount of AI music generation. One can write a few notes at random and generate a complete piece of music. I think that although more people can compose music in this way, the essence of “creativity” in music has disappeared. Unlike coding itself, art is something that requires a lot of time, and it’s good that people are finding shortcuts to it, but the process of creation should not abandon the “creation” itself. The article makes us consider how live coding challenges traditional understanding of composition and performance. Live Coding questions the nature of creativity.
