What would a Webchuck Chuck?

Webchuck is a new platform for real-time web-based music synthesis. Combining expressive music programming power with the ubiquity of web browsers is a game changer, one which we've experienced in recent teaching at Stanford's CCRMA. The paper will describe how this has fulfilled a long-sought promise for accessible music making and simplicity of experimentation. The Chuck music programming language now runs anywhere a browser can and a link is all it takes. Sample-synchronous live coding alongside full-on studio functionality is what a Webchuck can Chuck, thanks to advances in the web audio API.
