I hope to see more of this going forward with Gibber. For another interesting take on publishing music via code, see Alex McLean&#8217;s recently announced <a href=\"http:\/\/computerclub.bandcamp.com\/album\/peak-cut\">Peak Cut album<\/a>. Peak Cut is distributed both as audio files and as executable source code on a USB flash drive. It also includes a bootable image of Linux with Alex&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/yaxu.org\/tidal\/\">Tidal live coding software<\/a> pre-installed.<\/p>\n<p>When you launch Gibber, the 65dos demo is one of the first ones that appears in the file browser.
