What software(s) were you using for your performance? It sounds
intriguing.
Do you program notes or recording?

ChucK is designed to be concurrent. You can add and modify each
process (shred in ChucK) during runtime, and because writing timing
is part of the program flow, all shreds are automatically synchronized
to each other by time - this means new shreds on be written on-the-fly,
and can easily discover and share the audio, precise to the sample.

I am sorry that I am trumpeting ChucK so much - it's that this type of
multitasking is what ChucK is built for.

It doesn't exist yet, but the audicle (another current, giant software
disaster zone of ours) is designed to be an environment to
collaboratively
code audio.
