Product details

In programming, a mistake in the syntax of a block of code, such as a rogue semicolon or missing parenthesis, can cause the entire program to fail, leading to the commonly seen error message: Syntax Error. While writing this piece, I thought about how composing music is similar to writing in a programming language. In the traditional context, our job is to create a clear set of instructions which will then be interpreted by performers. We learn to communicate as effectively as we can but things can get lost in translation. Sometimes, the best musical moments come as unintended consequences of the composer's directions.
