Creative software development: reflections on AudioMulch practice

Abstract This article presents a perspective on the roles software development can take within a creative practice by considering both the author's own approach and related work of other practitioners. Questions are raised concerning the relationship between traditional engineering approaches to thinking about programming and the ways in which these approaches may limit creative outcomes when applied in the artistic domain.
