One key thing that stood out to me from this reading was where it said that live coding could be best characterized as “thinking in public”. I believe this is something that is lacking from majority of types of musical performances. You see an orchestra on stage, the thinking they’re doing is practically just following along with the music that they have practiced for months. Seeing a DJ on stage, they are playing pre-existing songs, and even when they are doing something live, you have no idea what they are doing. Live coding on the other hand shows everyone in the audience what you are doing, changing the code with the visuals and sounds reflecting it. Your thought process is being shown to the audience through your code, and that’s what makes it unique and different. Through live coding, you are embracing the fact that your computer is being utilized, instead of it being an invisible tool.
