Re: [sc-users] Why SuperCollider?



I recall one of your postings from almost ten years ago to the day where you revealed the name you'd chosen for your next synthesis language.

It's not my prerogative to repeat it...but let's just say it's good this "failure" has been so successful! :)

I was combining (colliding) the MAX language object I wrote, Pyrite,

probably would be a failed experiment to combine a high level garbage
collected language with a real time synth engine, so I named it after
another failed Texas "Big Science" project of the day.

Hi all

This morning I wake up with a name question then I forgot but now I remembered.
Why the name of SuperCollider is SuperCollider?
I could have been called Pyrite or miceCollider or JMCollider...
no, really, i would like to know the history.
