What is it about?
The article discusses how coding of music involves the building and management of generative processes, and how this human interaction with generative processes provides a unique perspective on understanding how generative algorithms need to be represented as code to best afford interaction and modification.

Why is it important?
Computer algorithms are often only considered from the perspective of mathematical efficiency or programming language architecture. This paper takes a performative view of algorithm design driven by the Neds of live coding as a creative practice. It describes how such a view to algorithm design for interactive adaptation provides a new and, we suggest, innovative perspective on the design of dynamic algorithms with potential application beyond creative practices.
