Barry Vercoe, who made coding sound accessible to all, has died - CDM Create Digital Music

Barry Vercoe, composer and music scientist, founded MIT's electronic music efforts and helped shape the Lab's efforts in digital synthesis and machine listening and learning. But his biggest impact came outside the academy: as the inventor of Csound, he took the original innovations of Max Mathews and made them accessible to everyone. The live coding scene that followed has transformed the practice of coding sound into a new form of musical performance.
