  8. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  9. bytebeat is something that inspired me (thanks geb, viznut, …). Because music is often repetitive by design and that I really love the idea of byte-level precision over your music yet still playing with the algorithms (just because you know how each string on a harp sounds like doesn't means you know how they sound together but you usually care about each and every string).
  10. .Pp
  11. I also quite like exploring this field for video, be it for visualization or other link to music or just generation of a standalove video feed. It could still mostly be called bytebeat as most of music are accompagniated by some video art these days and pretty much always has an image for their release (album, EP, compilation, …).

  19. I use the following oneliner for music livecoding:
