*) modular filter patch with audio driven realtime video processing in Max Msp Jitter by Se-Lien Chuang

**) SpectraSonic is a realtime audio software developed by Andreas Weixler, it consists of multichannel granular synthesis, spectral delay, controlled by virtuoso chances & machine musicianship

***) 8-channels Max/MSP audio processing by David Berezan

****) 'Sketch on Glass' is an algorithm that abstracts musical information from cognitive and symbolic models. The real-time sound processing environment allows for one single gestural movement to control several sound parameters at once in order to produce a complex sound treatment. A combination of manual, dynamic and visual event driven input processes was mapped to sonic transform processes by Mark Pilkington

*****) live-patch in SuperCollider (PLib) by Constantin Popp
