Threnoscope

The Threnoscope system, is a compositional system that incorporates a live coding micro-language for drone-based microtonal composition. Live coding emphasizes improvisation. It is an art practice that merges the act of musical composition and performance into a public act of projected writing. The code score is a novel element in the design of live coding systems allowing for improvisation through a graphic score, rendering a visual representation of past and future events in a real-time performance.
