Gibber is more than just another language for music synthesis. Being a tool that resides in the browser, Gibber opens up the ideas of being able to source your musical and visual elements from various media storage servers (e.g., calling Freesound() to access the Freesound sample database) and use them in real-time performance. I'm especially interested in how the practice of live coding at a moderately high level of abstraction places a constraint on timing: natural periods of repetition occur due to the time required to type and execute a new command. The ability enforces the idiomatic, gradual building of layers in techno music. This video is one of the many live coding sessions done by Charlie Roberts, the creator of the software.
