This repository contains experimental musical code/algorithms using the amazing Extempore programming language (as well as it precursor Impromptu).
This repo has a counterpart YouTube channel, where you can watch/listen the works in execution.
Algorithmic composition is the technique of using algorithms to create music -- Wikipedia
Admittedly, that's a rather unconventional way of making music. But it's also fun and (in its own way) spectacularly unique. You can also do that live too, in front of an audience sitting or dancing: it goes by the name of livecoding.
The Extempore Extensions repo contains a bunch of (mainly MIDI) scheme extensions that I developed in order to create Extempore musical algorithms more efficiently and more naturally.
The backups folder contains snippets and keybindings files for VSCode, as well as other potentially reusable bits and pieces.
