Abstract
The ixi lang musical live coding environment is a simple visual system for programming (composing and/or performing) music in real time, often in the context of a performance in front of live audience. It presents a high entry level control over synth definitions and samples defined in the audio programming language SuperCollider. The core idea is to represent events in a spatial layout, thus merging musical code and musical scores. The language is designed with strong visual elements, merging textual and graphical notation. Furthermore, the code itself - the musical score - is active, i.e., if the user writes a function that performs a method upon the score itself, it changes in real time.
