Audion - a scripting language that is very fun to write and lets you make interactive music, installations, generative compositions etc https://github.com/audion-lang/audion using supercollider or any daw and hardware. AI picks it up easy so Agentic coding in Audion works very well too.

yes, when you drive these systems you can get novel output, depends on the effort you put in

people are mentioning 10K/mo 20K/mo can someone please pull out a measuring stick and give some examples of what they are doing exactly?

Coming from computing, I always liked the idea that measuring is possible and good practice

follow the money, they wont be selling vinyl but generating streaming revenue, just type in what you know are paying niches and off you go to fill the hard drives with slop to be paid by advertisers on streaming platforms.

no, you use database servers, browsers and shells, everyone jumps on the react train, same as you, keep on going

just verified, it cant make a decent techno track, nor a drone track nor anything experimental. Its creativity is subpar, it feels like listening to a producer that knows where things go but is tired of playing, zero interest in creating/ performing, it gives off that kind of vibe

not convinced, because if you use a shovel to do your work, you can be replaced by someone else using a shovel to do your work.

To have a job you have to show up, get in there and figure it out.

I am against how its being used as well, in fact Authoritarianism is literally "central power to preserve the political status quo" - and that is what you have folks: OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Facebook/etc are all central powers.

Coding was always power that you can have if you just read the freely available info but having access to a computer and internet is not free - if we can change this it would make democratized.

This is _the_ question we must all be able to answer, so here goes my attempt - we all have access to the same tools, before stackoverflow it was forums, books/manuals, so its always been about “getting there, showing up, figuring it out” your hypothetical boss has other things to do than kick a LLM around at that price

yes, imho part of the problem of vibe coders is that training data is full of low quality advice/code, and it seems to me you won’t ever get rid of it. A perfect feedback loop to clean training data from bad advice/code without massive human intervention seems impossible as well.

Hi! sure, first of all its full stack / general, e.g. read a sensor, write a file, serve a request, trigger some videos or dim lights and query a database, just using builtins. All while sequencing instruments and interacting with a performer. Instead of providing timing and composition abstractions it’s completely open: threads are in sync so a for loop is the sequencer, a separate thread gives you more polyphony and timing is a primitive that is very easy to control and build an top of.

The integration with supercollider (SC) makes SC syntax somewhat simpler? That part may be somewhat opinionated however Audion does not need SC, if you have hardware or software instruments you can use that.

So I think in one phrase: A small language that is fun to write and lets you hack music.
