      Have you heard of live coding? Writing code in front of a live audience that plays music? I doubt anything like that has been done before the last couple of decades. I don't know the history, maybe people dabbled with it way back when, but it's an actual thing now. I hope it really catches on! this video

      Guys if you haven't seen Sonic PI ( [LINK] ), this is also a great tool! You can write beats using a Ruby DSL and it runs them real time. I sat down and did this in an hour: [LINK] Sam Aaron is the guy behind the project, he does a lot of ambient type stuff: this video
