Dogalog: A realtime Prolog-based livecoding music environment

[7thaccount]

This reminds me of streudal:

https://strudel.cc/

https://larkob.github.io/strudel/tutorial/

I've seen some cool demos on YouTube from SwitchAngel.

Both have a music domain specific language, but they differ in essential ways:

- Strudel, TidalCycles and FoxDot are temporal-first, designed for live performance, with code rewritten on the fly.

- Dogalog is a constraints-solving composition system, for offline use.

How are things going with Sonic Pi?[1] I have lots of fond memories and don't remember there being many strongly popular alternatives some years ago... though maybe I was living under a rock (..and roll).

Feels like more and more of these sorts of things are popping up. For example there's TidalCycles which is a Haskell version of the idea, which also exists as https://strudel.cc/ which is I believe a webasm version of it.

Really appreciate the focus on education and a11y with sonic pi - a genuine differentiator

it's still going: https://github.com/samaaron/tau5

Co-creator (with Claude) here - thanks for the suggestions! I will be visiting it again in the near future.

Since first making it live I have added an AI connector but unfortunately have managed to break the server I had proxying to an LLM. I'll try and fix next session.

I haven't tried the demo but I love this idea!

Would be cool if I could somehow constrain a chord to a key then enumerate the scale degrees that I want so I can make some real funky sounds that don't fit the standard Chord Qualities.

Reminded me of bytebeats (though I admit it's a different thing): https://bytebeat.demozoo.org/#t=0&e=0&s=44100&bb=5d00000100f...

Very neat. Would love to see events for each instrument laid out along a timeline!

Was it vibe-coded or is it just the README? Not a critique, just a question.

[doug-moen]

Yes, it was vibe-coded, and the author says they still haven't learned Prolog yet. <https://www.reddit.com/r/livecoding/comments/1pmabwv/dogalog...>

Love this! Musically I’m a noob but this I can understand!

[chrisjj]

Looks great! But on latest Android Chrome here, the live demo plays two hits then silence.

[Avshalom]

I have absolutely no idea what to do with this but I'mma play around with it.

[Avshalom]

also just pops into my head https://dbs.informatik.uni-halle.de/microlog/ for an entirely unrelated and completely different project that welds time onto prolog

[aethrum]

Volume warning on that demo, lol
