He did command line scripts 2001-2004, then started working in perl, the Haskell.
\nslub – writing code to make music to drink beer to.
\nFeedback.pl – writing code to write code to make music to drink beer to
\nHe read Laurie Spiegel’s paper on manipulations of musical patterns, so he got into pattern languages (ie HMSL, Common music, SuperCollider)
\nTidal is embedded in Haskell for pattern manipulation for music. Complexity through combination of simplicity.
\nStructures could be trees of structures…
\nSo he moved to functions of time. Time is an integer. Give a Pattern a time and it gives you an integer and the periodicity. This is limited because time is an integer.
\nNow, he thinks of time as cyclic, with repetition. So make time a floating point instead of an int. But this makes lookups hard.
\nSo the thought of having patterns be a sequence with discrete stuff or a signal, which is indexed by a rational and is non-discrete. However, mixing analog and digital in one data type is a problem.
\nSo he made separate types, but then this caused massive code inflation.
\nHe’s gone back to one type again.
\nHaskell is intense…..
\nand REALLY concise<\/p>\n
Does the system have state? No, which means he can’t even have random numbers.
\nIs time still a loop in the current version? Notionally, yes. But representationally, it’s a number, just in the functions, so its what you make it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
