This paper critically reviews the history of programming languages for
|
|
music by referring discussions from sound studies, aiming to describe
|
|
this history decoupled from computer music as a genre/community. The
|
|
paper focuses on the universalism around Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) and
|
|
Unit Generator concept established by MUSIC-N family, which actually
|
|
made lineage of role between composer and scientists which tends to turn
|
|
composers into consumers. The paper concludes that programming languages
|
|
for music developed after the 2000s function as a means of presenting
|
|
alternatives to the often-invisible technological infrastructures
|
|
surrounding music, such as formats and protocols, rather than solely
|
|
aiming to create novel musical styles.
