I think I'm a code-jay
I like sitting at home jamming away, spending time tweaking things, able to think straight.
From-scratch is great and I'll always attempt that on occasion, but I'm happy to regurgitate code from recent sessions and not really write much on stage.
I love performance, but for now there is still too much adrenaline to be able to function clearly and keep track of what I'm doing.
Maybe these two things will meet in the middle and also I've very much against the idea of 'polished' code.
For me this is analogous to how I would write music for guitar and play it back. Or program an Akai MPC and mix the loops live with dubsiren.
I guess that would be live-arranging?
Interestingly I made Syntə with the intention of it being a 'live only' platform, I love the idea of that. I just find it hard to do code when I'm excited or with various levels of exhaustion.
