I've followed your music (and PC Music) forever, and I love what you do with Tidal. AG Cook's work through PC Music and your own work has been a huge influence around where I've evolved my approach as a composer, so I want to say thank you for opening my eyes. I'll end this with a question -- what made you settle on Tidal vs other similar packages in different languages IE Sonic Pi (Ruby) and FoxDot (Python)? Is there something about Tidal/Haskell that fits your workflow or style better?
- jarmitage 3y agoThanks, I never expected to hear anything like this when I started out, so it means a lot! I started around 2014 or so, when there were fewer systems available. I saw Alex McLean perform with Tidal and that was enough for me, although I like to think I would have ended up using it anyway. The main thing that initially grabbed me was the arbitrary subdivision of time in the mini-notation, something I’d spent countless hours doing painfully by hand in a DAW. I love the terse syntax and simple yet powerful philosophies underlying Tidal.
