There's a youtuber called Switch Angel who regularly posts live coding sessions of her making trance music with Tidal. Worth a listen and a watch to see what's possible. https://youtube.com/@switch-angel?si=wUTkBU1G9OdC24rx

Note that the artist is technically using Strudel in their videos, not Tidal Cycles; Strudel is effectively a re-build of Tidal Cycles in JS so it runs in browser and doesn't require installation. https://strudel.cc/

I think Switch Angel may be the first person who makes actually listenable music using Tidal
Which is effectively reskinning TidalCycles with JavaScript syntax.

The main benefit of strudel is it’s much easier to get started. Maybe it’s changed but when I tried Tidal Cycles a few years ago it was a massive pita to get installed.

100% getting everything working for TidalCycles was rough, I remember needing to get Haskell, TidalCycles, and SuperCollider all communicating with each other and on the correct version. Once it was installed and working it was pretty solid but lots of headaches getting to that point. Maybe it’s better now though

Shortchanging it a bit when it moves it to the browser so less technical people can run it and moves it to a language significantly more people understand too.

Love strudel. Wanted to embed songs on my og but couldn’t due to the license.

So cool. Reminds me, I should learn me a Haskell... for great good!
