Gibber: Live coding audio in the Browser

We present Gibber: a live coding environment for web browsers. Gibber performances are written in pure JavaScript with no syntactical additions or modifications; this enables Gibber code to be executed in any web page viewed inside a browser implementing a realtime audio API. Gibber offers an array of synthesis options (FM, granular, subtractive, physical modeling), audio effects and sequencing objects to control them. The Gibber environment enables simple networked performances where multiple users simultaneously control a remote instance of Gibber. We strove to make the syntax of Gibber clear and concise; when coupled with the ability to run examples in any web page this gives Gibber interesting possibilities as an educational tool.
