Sonic Pi – Code based live music creation tool
Sonic Pi is awesome. I can highly recommend Mercury as well for live coding music: https://github.com/tmhglnd/mercury

Help my current lack of creativity. This setup is a product of 15 years of “fuckin’ with synths”. Currently need input from peers
Lastly, something I want to start exploring more, is funky ways to sequence stuff. There's a program called ORCA which is more programming than performing (unless you're into live coding!) but it can make some really neat stuff. That YT channel has a video going over the basics, too. Something like that might be more of a learning curve than you want, but I love the idea of obtuse ways to make melodies.

Any programmers here? Curious how people have combined coding and music.
I love using ORCA for generative experimentation https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca

Sharing Saturday #436
In particular - theres a music environment called Orca that is such a great fit for a Roguelike, and porting it to Rust might be a fun medium-size project.

How do I get ORCA to work from the ZIP file off Itch.io?
I've downloaded the Linux zip file from the link above and even after unzipping it and going through those files I can't find anything I'm supposed to be able to open. I've tried checking the MANUAL and the README file on the program's Github but I can't seem to get it going there either.
