I read it over and over again when I was building: https://glicol.org/
One of the motivations for building Glicol is to quickly let more people understand sound synthesis and music programming in the browser.

Glicol looking super cool! Reminds me of ChucK https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu
Your "on phone" or desktop synthesizer is amazing. Thanks for that. I shared with my more musical synth type friends. Your program reminds us, of how amazing music can be, with such a simple backbone. (Just as in the case of a harmonica or whistle, where a few notes, can invoke a range of emotions.) So easy to see the results of ones own experimentation.
Charles Dodge and Thomas A. Jerse, 1997. Computer Music: Synthesis, Composition and Performance. Schirmer Books, New York. 2nd Ed. 455pp. ISBN 0-02-864682-7. {Glossary; Index. 100s of figures, formulas.} Highly recommended.
Thanks for pointing to Glicol; this is amazing; looks like some kind of marriage of Chuck and Faust; or to which other language would you compare it? Just looked around a bit on the sites, but didn't see a language specification. Can you provide a hint, please.
Is this some kind of master or PhD work, or just a hobby project?
glicol is super super cool, thanks for sharing!
