Abstract
This chapter introduces the concept of programming using music, also known as tone-based programming (TBP ). There has been much work on using music and sound to debug code, and also as a way of help people with sight problems to use development environments. This chapter, however, focuses on the use of music to actually create program code, or the use of music as program code. The issues and concepts of TBP are introduced by describing the development of the programming language IMUSIC.
