There is a scene for live coding music. I've always like this example using SuperCollider and Common Lisp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzTH_ZqaFKI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzTH_ZqaFKI But against a synthesist with a nice hardware synth or computer synths, there's no way coding can compete with the speed and dynamic interaction of the interface. I think this is a nice example that shows just how fast crafting a simple tune can be with a dedicated interface such as the Elektron Analog Four: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm0WuPltadM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm0WuPltadM Then there's things like AudioMulch that really blur the lines between coding, synthesis, and something else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K_RTS73jSY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K_RTS73jSY A lot of music and synthesis is about experimentation and just playing, and that's something that text-based code doesn't quite capture well.
