Another system for live interaction with music is Extempore [0], for which you can code in either Scheme or xt-lang. There are some very impressive videos of it in action [1]. Extempore is a re-designed version of Impromptu [2] which was somewhat more restrictive in terms of platforms and editor integration. I don't understand ChucK or Extempore well enough at a lower level (yet) to provide a good comparison, but I'm just happy to see people introduced to any music hacking tools. :) [0] http://extempore.moso.com.au/ http://extempore.moso.com.au/ [1] http://vimeo.com/groups/82430/sort:plays/format:thumbnail http://vimeo.com/groups/82430/sort:plays/format:thumbnail [2] http://impromptu.moso.com.au/ http://impromptu.moso.com.au/
