Abstract:
Programming Languages are the oldest ‘new interface for music expression’ in computer music history. Both composersand researchers in computer music still have considerableinterests in computer music programming environments.However, while many researchers focus on such issues asefficiency, new paradigm, or new features in computer music programming, cognitive aspects of computer music programming has been rarely discussed. Such ‘cognitive issues’are of importance when design or usability in computer music programming must be considered. By contextualizing computer music programming in the psychology of programming, it ismade possible to borrow the technical terms and theoreticalframework from the previous research in the field, which would be helpful to clarify the problems related to cognitiveergonomics and also beneficial to design a new programmingenvironment with better usability in computer musi
