The artist "Masahiko Hasebe" is a Yamaha engineer and has recently been active as a maker as well.
He also sells DIY electronic instruments individually and frequently exhibits them at Maker Faires.

This time, he showcased a performance using a programming language he independently developed for live coding. The programming language is designed for performing classical music, and the only available sound is the piano.

In live coding, electronic music is often performed, but I think it's quite rare to see piano pieces being played.
The live coding performance feels very similar to modular synthesizer performances. Although there is a difference between hardware and software, the process of creating sounds and music is very similar.
