Anyone have any recommendations for reading material for an experienced programmer that wants to learn how to start to write procedural music? My kid is both learning to program and learning to sequence music I would love to be able to teach him how to combine the two. The last time I did any procedural audio generation was back in 1995 and I’m sure things have changed since then.

Sonic Pi is great. Another option with probably a harder learning curve is Tidal Cycles.
