Hello,

The Music Software Development group of our department has started the
development of an Composition & Performance environment for Soundscapes.
Several Composers canb work on a Soundscape together, linked by the
Internet and react to material from other composers. The system will
distribute the results via the Internet and terminals generating the
composition can in in Museums, at home, in Concerthalls, in forsests or
mountains, cityparks etc.

We are thinking of using CSound as the audio-synthesis engine, but in order
to do so, CSound would need to be extended with Java-control options and
scheduling-facilities to post and control instruments while running the
Composition.

More info can be found on: http://www.hku.nl/~hanst/projecten/devp99.html

We are looking for developers worning on new versions of CSound interested
in this topics and would like to work on this project together with
developers outside of our faculty.

If you are interested please mail me.
