Antescofo is a software for composition and performance of realtime
computer music. It is composed of a coupled score follower and
specification language for composition and performance of mixed live
electronics pieces. The language of Antescofo allows flexible writing
of time and interaction in computer music.
The system works in interaction with Max/MSP, a programming
environment for musical application. During the performance, the
listening machine decodes in real time the position in the score and
the tempo (execution speed) of the musicians. The sequencer uses these
informations to send control messages to Max/MSP. Then Max/MSP uses
these messages to control complex sound synthesis, manage light etc.
This project aims to embed a kernel of the language of Antescofo (the sequencer part) in a ML based reactive synchronous language: ReactiveML. You can find here the EMSOFT'13 paper which describes the semantics of the language and the details of the embedding, the FARM'13 paper and the video of the associated talk which details some practical applications of this embedding, video demonstrations and the source code of our application.
