Real men use CSOUND for "programmed music" :)
Seriously, csound is designed as a programming language for music and is
phenominally powerful and can be used in real time. If I were hacking code
for music onstage, that is what I would use. Having said that, I'd rather
use my guitar or synth(s) as they are the ultimate in "live composition"
instruments...
