I played with Tidal when it first came out for music. I do like it. To me though, I prefer Grace[1] (CM, Lisp) and Extempore[2] (Scheme, xtlang). You can work within the grammar of music, or you can program your own DSPs. Xtlang in Extempore is a pretty neat DSL created by Andrew Sorensen. To me Tidal was mainly rhythm-based. I am sure it has evolved since then, but it felt like a coding sequencer or pattern generator. I liked Sporth, (Soundpipe + Forth), but it appears something has occurred on the internets that I am not aware of. The repo is still here[3], but it is not being worked on any longer from what I have read there. If interesting and unusual is your thing for generative music, check out Orca[4]. That has eaten hours of my time far more than Tidal for me.
