Hi, Interesting project.
I assume that players (people sitting in front of their web interface ?) listen via streaming. Which format will you use/recommend? For p2p, peercast (http://www.peercast.org/) is a broadcasting p2p application that may be usefull for your project. fd Le mar 04/05/2004 � 08:26, Niklas Werner a �crit : > Hi .*, > > I am doing my PhD at the University of Waikato's Music Department, NZ with > Ian Whalley. > I am going to develop a Web-based interactive sound art system allowing > composers/players to incorporate aesthetic approaches from electronic > music, net.art, sonic art and soundscapes. > > I am trying to get away from using MIDI in favour of OSC and direct DSP on > the audio (That's why I'm thinking of using SuperCollider).
