Audience: There was no larger goal besides having fun; example Csound patches are used as the author's own background music.

“https://whilemusic.net/ - Generative hard- or software- synthesizer music. The core engine (genetic MIDI generation) started 3 years ago to drive hardware synthesizers. That was good old handcrafted code, just a CLI tool. At some point I thought I was done with it, but AI coding tools let me build a nicer GUI around it and make it more accessible. Eventually a web version with built in Csound soft synth resulted which is where it's at now.”
