Writing computer code is just another way of expressing ideas. The starting point for each track on this album was a computer program written in C++. People often think of programmers as people who make tools. In my case I use programming to compose music. For each song I go back into the program and rewrite sections, depending on what I am trying to achieve. The output from the program plays back through traditional electronic devices. I find music notation difficult and hard to control. Code is much more direct and intuitive. The end result is much the same - you produce a series of notes, rests and instructions for playing and listening to.
