Summer project: impromptu client for scserver. Start the server, the fire up impromptu, which is a live coding environment. Start it’s server and tell it to talk to scserver. It’s a different way of making music. To stop a function, you re-define it to make errors.
\nImpromptu 2.5 is being released in a few days as will Thor’s library on the ixi website.
\nNow for the main presentation. He has a logn standing interest in making constrained system, for example, using ixi quarks. These are very cool. He has very elaborate guis, modelling predator\/prey relationships to control step sequencers. His research shows that people enjoy constraints as a way to explore content.
\nHe’s showing a video taking the pis out of laptop performances, which is funny. How to deal with laptop music: VJing provides visuals. NIME – physical interface controllers. or Live Coding. Otherwise, it’s people sitting behind laptops.
\nixi lang is an interpreted language that can rewrite it’s own code in real time that has the the power to access sc
\nIt takes a maximum of 5 seconds of coding to make noise. Easy for non programmers t use. Understandable for the audience. The system has constraints as it has easy features.
\nAffordances and constraints are two sides of the same coin. “Affordance” is how something is perceived as being usable.
\ncomposing an instrument has both affordances and constrains.
\nixi lang live coding window. There are 3 modes.<\/p>\n
\n\nagent1 -> xylo[1 5 3 2]\n<\/pre>\nspaces are silences, numbers are notes. instrument is xylophone<\/p>\n
\nscale minor\nagent1 -> xylo[1 5 3 2] + 12\n<\/pre>\nin minor an octave higher.

\nThe satisfaction survey results of users is very high. Some people found it too rigid and others thought it was too difficult. Survey feedback is 1% of users.

\nThis makes live coding faster and understandable. You can put regular sc code in the ixi lang docs. good educational tool. can be used by children. successful experiment for a very high level live coding project.
\nYou can easily add audio plugins. The lang is very extendable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summer project: impromptu client for scserver.
