Abstract:

With the growing adoption of internet connectivity across the world, online collaboration is still a difficult and slow endeavor. Many amazing languages and tools such as SuperCollider, ChucK, and Max/MSP all facilitate networking and collaboration, however these languages and tools were not created explicitly to make group performances simple and intuitive. New web standards such as Web Audio and Web GL introduce the capability for web browsers to duplicate many of the features in computer music tools. This paper introduces Lich.js, an effort to bring musicians together over the internet with minimal effort by leveraging web technologies.
