The hardware-and-the-software environments which are responsable for the real-time processes (AUDIACSYSTEM, a project carried on by the ICEM (Institut for Computer music and electronic Media) at the Folkwang Hochschule-Essen and by the company Micro-Control GmbH & Co KG, both in Gennany) will be described. Finally some examples and passages of the piece will be explained.
