Been a bit distracted recently with a number of things so only finally getting round to jotting this down. I got a Facebook update from my fav band of 2014 - 65daysofstatic - with some performance code using Gibber. It now looks like it is front page on their web-site.
Before we get to Gibber, if you haven't heard Wild Light yet,take a listen to some of the tracks, then go and order it from your favourite purveyor of music and take your ears onto their Soundcloud page. Thanks to ComfortConspiracy for playing this on the excellent last Christmas podcast (when is the next one, it was just teasing to say Part 1!).
Back to Gibber, this seems to be the brain-child of Charlie Roberts at UCSB (a general big-up for UC as a Bruin myself) in their Media Arts and Technology Program. Take a look at Charlie's page for additional information and a link to the source code on GitHub.
65dos have written a song (yrCodeIsBadAndYouShouldFeelBad) entirely in code. The 65dos style is there to see - love the use of pluckArp for the guitar sound and coldSynthAnUndefinableSadnessCheerUpThoughEh?
I could only get this to run in Chrome, but ran on Win and Mac and spent a wonderful evening of tinkerage playing around with the sounds myself. There is a great Vimeo vid of Gibber being used as a performance musical tool.
