I've watched a couple of her stuff, it's really inspiring and feels very cosy, like a slice of Internet that lives on its own and creates without being too bothered about the Algorithm™.

Yeah love her stuff. And honestly the voice description is part of the music flow at this point.

I feel like that’s kinda how people imagined navigating whatever cyber domain when the first big cyberpunk novels came out

Just to add some context, Strudel is TidalCycles ported from Haskell to JS. IMO, Haskell is a much nicer language for this stuff. Hopefully, now that GHC can output WebAssembly, someone can build a web-based music programming environment around the original TidalCycles instead.

Is there feature parity? Strudel might be ahead by now?

The person in that video really has an ear for synthesis. I've spent quite some time watching all the strudel videos and this creator consistently shows the best skill across genres.

This was epic, and reminded me of the magic of programming when I first found a video game maker at a wee 11 years old.

Writing code to make music feels so natural to me (a musically inept, but proficient coder) and this breaks down so many barriers.

I wonder how Cursor fares with Strudel so far.

Dunno about Cursor, but Claude code > codex, in my experimentation, but that was before 5.2.

This is pretty incredible to watch. I initially thought she must be pulling some kind of trick to make that look so fluid, but the fact that she is making very small typos and correcting them as she goes make it look very believable. This is really the first time I've watched someone use one of these tools and it feel like a musician using a new kind of instrument.

Yeah, she's got several videos, and shorts, where she does this. It's clear she really, really understands how to do what she wants to achieve!

If you go back to the older videos she has like a decade of experience messing around with modular synths to make music live that is actually listenable.

She is also a main developer on the strudel project. If you want to contribute, it is open source:

Yeah, I'm watching more. These are incredible. I really like how she describes what she's doing in tempo with the music as she does it. The description is basically part of the performance. Really unique and engaging approach.

As a producer, wow. She can visualize the outcome she wants without ever seeing much at all. That takes a ton of skill. Insanely impressive video.

I think the videos are done live, but she plans them out, she isn't just winging it.

she is a producer, not making anything innovative music wise (she must have done similar things thousands of times), with a long experience in live music, and she is a/?the? core dev of the tool she is using.

honestly i think the planning is at most a few minutes long (once she decides what she will go for) then she probably let the experience talk.

This is one of my all-time favorite YouTube videos, and it's of her coding music - https://youtu.be/iu5rnQkfO6M
