Minimalistic Music Composition with C++
Music = Sound Design + Sequencing
While programming environments like WebAudio, SuperCollider and Chuck exist, they are complex to use and try to do sound design as well with code. Using code just for sequencing music and leaving sound design to the DAW opens up rich possibilities.
In this talk I would like to explore how just using normal code, you can improve over the traditional piano roll and introduce the audience to using the DAW in a headless way.
