I would like to hear more live eletronics / mixed music made with SuperCollider. Any references, specially composers who share code as well ?
There is this list, but it is quite outdated, many broken links…
I improvised a handful of tracks with my flutist friend for her debut album - mostly live processing, all done in SC!

This has been my approach for the past 20 years or so, all using SuperCollider. Here are three different takes:
Lines on Black (the second piece on this album (starting at track 8)): Glossolalia/Lines on Black | Wet Ink Ensemble
score: Lines on Black
improvised duo:
Two Live Sets
or for something completely different (two silent-brass trombones controlling audio with descriptors):

Maria W Horn is using Supercollider for her compositions, e.g. on this album:
There’s an episode of the Nuts And Bolts podcast, where she talks about that:

I like it. Every Cat Lamb piece I have played used electronics made in SC. Staying in Tuning Drone Land, Michael Harrison’s Harmonic Constellations (with Mari Kumura) is all done in SC.

If you’re in Seattle tonight: DXARTS Fall Concert: Real & Imagined Soundworlds
All are made with the Ambisonic Toolkit, and all but the Jeff Rice works are made with SuperCollider.
@Sam_Pluta, great pieces and resources!
Do you use lilypond for the scores ? Do you use any integration with SC and the scoring enviroment ?
I do not. That stuff is all a combination of Sibelius and Omnigraffle. Though, there is no way I am going to pay that Sibelius rental fee, so I am trying to figure out where to go from here as far as notation software is concerned.
I sometimes make algorithmically generated notes in SC and write a midi file using SimpleMidiFile, then import those into Sibelius or whatever, but no direct export to lilypond.
Newton made this a couple of years ago:
Not sure the state of that project.

Hello, @Nikolas_Hofmann
Yes, whole album Antigone/Child is written in SC. The code is here: luka/antigone-child - antigone-child - Gitea
First rule of learning SuperCollider:
Ok, that’s actually kinda five rules. (thanks @t36s )
I would suggest try @elifieldsteel videos. If you want to work through somewhat dense material (and stop often while watching), just start with his Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPYzvS8A_rTaNDweXe6PX4CXSGq4iEWYC
If it’s too dense, you can look at one of his live streams that he did for students - they seem to pace along in a much more digestible tempo: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPYzvS8A_rTZmJZjUtMG6GJ2QkLUEaY4Q
The new Erstwhile record uses SuperCollider. The artist “/f” primarily uses SuperCollider for most of her music too, “recovered files” being probably my personal favorite of hers. Really great improvisational sound collage-y stuff: recovered files | /f

The debut album from experimental metal band YAWN features a bunch of live processing and sound design done in SC:
It’s also probably worth mentioning that we also use SC in concerts to synchronize and play click tracks, backing tracks, our light show, and MIDI messages that control our digital amplifiers:

This is great.
Horse Lords has also been known to use SC:
The whole video is great, but SC arrives around 15 minutes in.

Hey, all my released records as Forces are made almost completely with SC. The newest one “Inertia” is pretty much 100% SC. In “Epoch” and “Climate Denial Machine” I have couple Tidal tracks among SC ones. “Plastisphere” and “Dynamics” are 100% SC. You can find the collected streams of my records at my Bandcamp.
Ps. I have an upcoming record made last Summer at EMS Stockholm, which I made with the digital synths of the so called “90s Wagon” synth rack + SC. It should be released on the Slovakian label Mappa soonish I think!
