SuperCollider

In the new book, Gérard Assayag and Andrew Gerzso (ed.), New Computational Paradigms for Computer Music. Delatour France / Ircam-Centre Pompidou, 2009, there is an article on: Improvising Formalisation: Conversational Programming and Live Coding. (Julian Rohrhuber and Alberto de Campo).

Grupe, Gerd (ed.): Virtual Gamelan Graz Rules – Grammars – Modeling (note the code on the cover..)

This book is about the SuperCollider based Virtual Gamelan Graz and its musicological context. It is mainly intended for gamelan specialists interested in computational methods and music theory of Java. An article by Rainer Schütz and Julian Rohrhuber discusses the details of the realtime synthesis implementation in SuperCollider, which is a bit of a blend of javanese and sclang (Schütz/Rohrhuber/de Campo).
