Funny that you should ask this on the same day I plug Jake's new web site.
It's mentioned there (in a Worm Interface press release) that he is
"writing his own granular synthesis and real-time compositional software
(which is incorporated into a live show that we hope to bring to the UK
next year)."

Of course, outside of the *comparatively* traditional IDM/techno scene is
the highly academic world of avant-garde computer music, much of which is
based upon the idea of software design as a primary compositional tool.
Write a program, record the results.  For more information, contact just
about any university's music department.
