To me this is screaming out for an evolutionary algorithm to take care of the pesky typing & learning the syntax issues!

I’ve been generating audio with Perl/PDL and optimising it with genetic programming (also live on web, see the link). I was thinking about a rewrite in csound or chuck but would probably never find the time.

Will definitely check out dorkbotlondon too. I’m gearing up for live performance.

I should say I’m not at all opposed to text as a interface to sequencing; I feel sequencers could do with some fresh blood, interface-wise ,now that the demands on them on the interface level are going up with the sequencer often being the main instrument in modern music with live improvisation implied or assumed. One project in the ChucK scene took inspiration from Emacs-style commands to enter data into a sequencer.

The X0X series, after all was meant for practising guitar with and despite some virtuoso performers I do feel that that shows a bit.

Keep it up.

It would be really cool to have a “director’s cut” version of one of these video performances where you talked through what you were thinking as you composed.

In the right hands this SW would make a great teaching tool for elementary school classrooms.
