Abstract [en]

This paper introduces a text-based, domain-specific language (DSL) for audio sample manipulation and playlist-based granular synthesis, embedded within the Cycling '74 Max \texttt{v8ui} environment using the mgraphics system, supporting real-time control and live coding. The interface enables command-line interaction with large-scale local audio corpora organised on a 2D self-organising map (SOM). It employs LISP-inspired prefix syntax and nested expressions, enabling performers to navigate and manipulate audio material through gesture-based control. The system emphasises modularity and customisation, enabling each musical gesture to be independently timed, chained, or sequenced, whilst supporting interaction models based on path-finding, spectral feature and metadata attribute filtering, and stochastic and probabilistic variation. This paper outlines the system’s architecture and influences, describes its core syntax and behaviors, and discusses implications for future developments in live coding design.
