The chap in the first video on that BBC link is Dan Stowell, 
who is with The Centre for Digital Music (c4dm) at Queen Mary 
University London (QMUL) in Mile End, London UK. And if I 
remember, I've seen him perform at QMUL, using a Mac Power 
Book and running Super Collider.

I emailed a professor I know at QMUL, I knew that he would know who
I was looking for. He put me onto Dan before, when I went across
the Pond the last time. Then I emailed Dan, that was him in the vid.

I'll see if I can get him more directly into the conversation,
if you all would like.

There was something about Super Collider's ease of ability in the
area of live performance that some of them liked.

Yes, you can do this. You can also send score events during a
performance which is sort of live-coding. I did a performance a few
months ago where I loaded an instance of Csound in Pd. The Csound
instrument was quite simple yet it let me control every aspect of it
from several p4 fields, 20 in all. I then sent score events on the fly
during the performance. It wasn't true live coding in the sense of
what can be done in other languages but it did let me send live events
to my Csound instrument. The one problem with my performance was that
I didn't have any code on screen so many present were curious as to
why I was typing throughout my piece, they didn't realise I was
affecting the sound. Programme notes are well and good so long as the
audience read them!
