That's what you get for ending your list with a non-obvious entry to
indicate it's open-ended nature.
The Toplap CD compilation "a prehistory of livecoding" starts off with a
(reconstructed) piece from '85 by Ron Kuivila in Forth.
My friend Rob Hordijk told me about working with Forth on a Apple around the
same time, or slightly earlier, creating variations on Karplus Strong and
composing for those in a way I would call closely related to livecoding
except for the lack of a present audience.
I think another friend of mine named Jan Punter still likes and uses Forth
in a home-brew implementation for implementing customised embedded systems,
I'm not sure he ever worked with it musically but he might well have.
I would have email addresses for you (off-list) if you have a desire to get
in touch with fellow Forth enthusiasts.
Yours,
Kas.
