SuperCollider is an interpreted Object Oriented programming language and realtime sound synthesis server. The language is based on Smalltalk but with C language family syntax. One or more client applications runs the language (OSX / *nix / windows) with which you can do any kind of sequencing, generation or physical interfaces you can think of, which then sends messages to one or more synthesis servers over TCP/IP or UDP (locally or remote) on which you can do nearly any type of synthesis or sound processing you can think of.
SC was written by James McCartney over a period of many years. It is now an open source GPL'd project maintained and developed by James and a few others.

For your enjoyment:
some SuperCollider music by me
timeblind.
Most of my public offerings to the SuperCollider libraries are now included with the main distribution of SuperCollider 3. Some of the stuff listed here is therefore old and deals mainly with SC2 (for os 9). Which is still a nice piece of software.
