MoltenMaster and Distribution of Generative Art

November 28, 2009

First, the news: I’ve released a SuperCollider Quark (called MoltenMaster) that attempts to simplify the playback organization (synchronization of resource allocation, playback initialization and resource deallocation across multiple pieces compiled in a bundle) of generative (and/or interactive) music/media pieces.
