I think I've found an instance of what we might want to call live
audio programming that was performed around 1968. Marcel Duchamp and
John Cage, having been old chess fellas, of course had to do it:
Chess-Sonification.
In their concert at Ryerson Polytechnic in Toronto called "Reunion",
they used photoelectric cells to trigger sounds while playing chess.
there is a link to Leonardo Journal of Music vol. 9. (Lowell Cross,
'Reunion : John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Electronic Music and Chess)
