M5live: a historical online environment for electronic music

In this paper, we discuss the development of a framework that enables real-time interaction using MUSIC V, the pioneering music synthesis software developed by Max Mathews and ported to modern Gfortran by Bill Schottstaedt and Victor Lazzarini. We seek to generate a collaborative online environment, which allows us not only to disseminate the particularities of this foundational piece of electronic music history but also to extend its logic to the current practices of live-coding and internet music.
