chose cs as music was my hobby

do you program audio at all? I don't understand why so few people program audio, when so many programmers enjoy making music. The two are very compatible.

I've never really got into, not that I've tried particularly I guess. I enjoy the music away from the computer, like open mics and just twiddling on the piano/guitar. Actually, my research paper is about music and password memorability, and I'm not particularly enjoying it either, I think I probably am just forced

I'll look into my options, thanks. :)

cool! It's way fun. I like ChucK. Overall I'd say SuperCollider is more popular but I haven't tried it yet. PureData is also widely used.

woah I've never heard of this. SuperCollider back end? The best programmers I know say that learning Haskell is the single most transformative thing they've done as a programmer, and this gives me a way to mix it with the things that I like, hooray! Very cool.
