Identify composers working with Common Lisp and any open source systems they use

[gogins]

This is to prepare for possibly extending my own use of Common Lisp for composing.

The end result may be a further extension of csound-extended, including a cross-platform environment similar to Csound for Android or Grace, using Common Lisp and JavaScript for composing, Csound for synthesis, and HTML for user interfaces. This environment would run on Linux and Android, and possibly on Windows.

Obstacles include:

• Difficulty of porting my ChordSpace code to Common Lisp, although that probably is a very good idea.
• Lack of a good cross platform text editor.
• Lack of a good open source facility for automatically notating generated scores. Fomus only works at times. Lilypond does not run on Android.

Anyway, for now identify composers of good music who use Common Lisp. I will look over the committers to various code bases, the subscribers to various lists, and in published music. For OpenMusic, this surely is the best reference: http://repmus.ircam.fr/openmusic/ombook.

I have to actually like the music, quite a bit, and it has to actually be algorithmically composed some a considerable extent using Common Lisp.

I'd like to know what algorithmic composition environments are actually being used. Whatever it is I should like it to work on Linux, on Android, and be something I can get into csound.node or a similar addon for NW.js. Of course it has to be open source.

• nudruz (CM with Drew Krause's code and my Csound interface), just me so far.
• Common Music 2, 1,877 total downloads of 2.10 sources.
• OpenMusic, 432 members in the OpenMusic group on ForumNet.
• PWGL, 4 developers.
• SlipperyChicken, 2 contributors, no other statistics.
• SuperCollider, 143 contributors, probably many more users.
• Grace, 1,877 source downloads total, 200 downloads latest 3.10 Windows binaries.
• Nyquist, 200 latest Windows binaries.

While I'm at it, who can I hang it with around here to talk about computer music, or perform with? That would be within an our or so driving.

1. SUNY Delhi? 25 minutes.
2. SUNY Albany? 1 hour 39 minutes.
3. SUNY Oneonta? 1 hour.
4. SUNY Cobleskill? 1 hour.
5. SUNY New Paltz? 1 hour 37 minutes.
6. SUNY Polytechnic Utica? 2 hours 7 minutes.
7. Hartwick? 1 hour. Not much there that I can see.
8. Bard? 1 hour 33 minutes. Professor Jeremy Van Buskirk directs the Computer Music Studio. Matt Sargent seems to have something to do with it, also, lives in Highland, NY, 1 hour 45 minutes. And Richard Teitelbaum!
9. Cornell? 2 hours 19 minutes. Has a computer/electronic studio: http://digital.music.cornell.edu/, directed by Kevin Ernste. Also: Walker White? Mark Gotham? Carol Krumhansl! Composer and sound artist Marianthi Papalexandri-Alexandri.

Individuals I know..

1. Dave Seidel
2. Fred Szymanski
3. Rock drummer and occasional songwriter Michael Suchorski?
4. Julian Fleischer?
5. Occasional guitarist John Houshmand?

I have joined various computer music related Facebook groups. These appear to be a mixed bag.
