Code Scores in Live Coding Practice
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores live coding environments in the context of notational systems. The improvisational practice of live coding as combining both composition and performance is introduced and selected systems are discussed. The author’s Threnoscope system is described, but this is a system that enables the performer to work with both descriptive and prescriptive scores that can be run and altered in an improvisational performance.

Improvising with the Threnoscope: Integrating Code, Hardware, GUI, Network, and Graphic Scores
Live coding emphasizes improvisation. It is an art practice merging the act of musical composition and performance into a public act of projected writing. This paper introduces the improvisational features of the Threnoscope system, which implements a live coding microlanguage for drone-based microtonal composition. The paper discusses the aims and objectives of the system, elucidates design de...

The article introduces several key points of investigation in live-coding research and discusses some examples of how live-coding practitioners engage with these points in their system design and performances. In light of the ...
متن کاملLive Coding Towards Computational Creativity
Live coding is a way of improvising music or video animation through live edits of source code, using dynamic language interpreters. It requires artists to represent their work within a formal computer language, using a higher level of abstraction than is the norm. Although the only creative agents in live coding performance are human, this abstraction makes the practice of interest to the fiel...
متن کاملSharing Time and Code in a Browser-Based Live Coding Environment
We describe research extending the live coding environment Gibber with affordances for ensemble, networked, live coding performances. ese include shared editing of code documents, remote code execution, an extensible chat system, shared state, and clock synchronization via proportional-integral control. We discuss these features using the framework provided by Lee and Essl in their 2014 paper ...
متن کاملCommunication, Control, and State Sharing in Collaborative Live Coding
In the setting of collaborative live coding, there emerges a number of issues: (1) the need for communication, (2) issues of conflicts in sharing program state space, and (3) remote control of code execution. This paper proposes solutions to these problems. In the recent extension of UrMus a programming environment for mobile music application developmentwe introduce a paradigm of shared and in...
