Antescofo is a coupling of a real-time listening machine with a reactive and timed synchronous language. The language is used for authoring of music pieces involving live musicians and computer processes, and the real-time system assures its correct performance and synchronization despite listening or performance errors.

These pages documents the language starting from version 0.5. Users willing to practice the language are strongly invited to download Antescofo and use the additional Max or PureData tutorials (with example programs) that come with them for a sensible illustration of the language.

Antescofo scores can be edited, visualized and monitored by AscoGraph, a standalone program communicating with the Antescofo engine via OSC messages. See the related Ascograph documentation.
