I think the fact that music is woven in to every human ritual makes me
want to pull it away even more.
It's totally possible to have chats about live coding where music and
art aren't mentioned at all.

I'm hopeful that a cleaner definition can be found.

(You know if I was being a philosophical ninny I might argue that live
coding in secretly bound in to more human rituals than music is)
