“…It is interesting that artistic practices such as live coding (or on-thefly programming) have been making sound creation and manipulation more similar to iterative design processes, with initial sketches being shared and gradually evolved to complex refined objects. The specialized programming languages and environments for computer music are evolving in the direction of coding as sketching, possibly with direct export of results to larger software frameworks where a variety of sound models can be hosted and made to interact with each other [107].…”

“…Dannenberg argues that introducing readymade solutions to a language specification will ultimately limit the expressiveness of the language itself. The language should therefore increase its expressiveness, and it is better to develop individual solutions as libraries on the language [2].…”

We propose a programming language for music named mimium, which combines temporal-discrete control and signal processing in a single language. mimium has an intuitive imperative syntax and can use stateful functions as Unit Generator in the same way as ordinary function definitions and applications. Furthermore, the runtime performance is made equivalent to that of lower-level languages by compiling the code through the LLVM compiler infrastructure. By using the strategy of adding a minimum number of features for sound to the design and implementation of a general-purpose functional language, mimium is expected to lower the learning cost for users, simplify the implementation of compilers, and increase the self-extensibility of the language. In this paper, we present the basic language specification, semantics for simple task scheduling, the semantics for stateful functions, and the compilation process.mimium has certain specifications that have not been achieved in existing languages. Future works suggested include extending the compiler functionality to combine task scheduling with the functional paradigm and introducing multi-stage computation for parametric replication of stateful functions. CCS Concepts: • Applied computing → Sound and music computing; • Computer systems organization → Real-time languages; • Theory of computation → Timed and hybrid models.

Sequencer-based live performances of electronic music require a variety of interactions. These interactions depend strongly on the affordances and constraints of the used instrument. Musicians may perceive the available interactions offered by the used instrument as limiting. For furthering the development of instruments for live performances and expanding the interaction possibilities, first, a systematic overview of interactions in current sequencer-based music performance is needed.To that end, we propose a taxonomy of interactions in sequencer-based music performances of electronic music. We identify two performance modes sequencing and sound design and four interaction classes creation, modification, selection, and evaluation. Furthermore, we discuss the influence of the different interaction classes on both, musicians as well as the audience and use the proposed taxonomy to analyze six commercially available hardware devices.
