Abstract

We describe extensions to the Lua programming language constituting a novel platform to support practice and investigation in computational audiovisual composition. Significantly, these extensions enable the tight real-time integration of computation, time, sound and space, and follow a modus operandi of development going back to immanent properties of the domain.
