Abstract
This paper presents a software system for performance in social spaces. The system runs on a variety of networked platforms and devices (Windows, Android, MacOS and iOS). A composer/conductor node is responsible for as-signing activities to participants throughout a performance. Composers create performances for a variety of mobile and laptop devices with each performer being assigned an instrument and methods of controlling syn-thesis parameters. The system distinguishes itself from others in the way it dynamically adapts to available de-vices while a piece is being performed. A recent development of the system is the internal language for structuring performances. Instruments are assigned a level of priority to ensure that core functions are fulfilled first. As more performers join the performance, lower priority instruments are created. The accessible, adaptable and portable nature of the system means that it is suited to a variety of environments. Pieces may be constructed for more formal environments (such as concert halls), but equally they might be designed for informal gatherings in spaces not designed for performance.
