Hello,
I was just browsing the archives of the squeak mailing list and noticed this thread about squeak and music and all.
I have used Csound extensively in my music and still I am quite satisfied with it (at least the synthesis side of it). The real pain is score generation.
I am not a programmer and I have been looking for all kinds of tools to help/speed up/customize the composition process for a while. In the meantime I have tried various tools/progamming languages. I even bought Max- and it's still being used in a variety of fun ways.
Anyways, in my recent search of best tool for Csound score generation I started learning python (well, also for some cgi apps) and almost started developing some tools for my csound scores. And suddenly I happened to read about squeal (followed some stray link I guess). And then I discovered that Mr Pope developed a music system based on it. So I just spent 3 nights playing around with Squeal (and Siren) trying to understand how it all works.
Having said all that, I'm planning to dive a bit more into squeal and explore the music/multimedia side of it. I'm just starting with it so I guess it's going to take a while (is the learning curved considered to be steep ???) before I can contribute anything (or even read code) but i'd be interested in following the development.
Is there anyone else using Siren?

I'm in the process of setting up a special mailing list for this. It will be called siren@creaqte.ucsb.edu.

This is exactly the string point of Siren!

I would love to see a squeak/music mailing list -- please add me if you create one.
Thanks
