imho music is just "organised sound."  Perl is good for that i think.

why not try to find new ways of organising sound rather than reducing our
use of computers to mimicking others?

Computers're bringing about a situation that's like the invention of
harmony. Sub-routines are like chords.  No one would think of keeping a
chord to himself. You'd give it to anyone who wanted it. You'd welcome
alterations of it. Sub-routines are altered by a single punch. We're
getting music made by man himself: not just one man.
