Authoring and Performing Interactive Music

The combination of both realtime machine listening systems and reactive programming paradigms has enabled the authoring of interactive music systems as well as their realtime performance within a coherent synchronous framework called Antescofo (See also 6.1 ). The module, developed since 2008 by the team members, has gained increasing attention within the user community worldwide with more than 50 prestigious public performances yearly. The outcomes of the teams's research will enhance the interactive and reactive aspects of this emerging paradigm as well as creating novel authoring tool for such purposes.

The AscoGraph authoring environment, started in 2013 and shown in Figure 2 , is the first step towards such authoring environment and extended specifically in 2015 as reported in [12] , [13] .

The outcome of the ANR Project INEDIT (with LABRI and GRAME and coordinated by team leader), has further extended applications of Antescofo to other domains where temporal scenari are necessary such as in robotics and automatic scene understanding.

The Antescofo User Community counts more than 150 active members as of early 2016 from prestigeous institutions and music ensembles from all around the world. $90\%$ of internal Ircam productions in 2015 used Antescofo language as front-end language for deployment.
