Gencaster, a non-linear audio streaming framework for real-time radiophonic experiences and live music, has seen its beta release.
Gencaster has been developed in collaboration with media artist Vinzenz Aubry and features bi-directional streaming of audio data that also allows navigation through generative statements that can access the listener's position or trigger dialogs on the user's device. Gencaster uses WebRTC, which allows for low latency and works exclusively within a browser, allowing for intermediate interaction with the listener as well as the user.
With the release of a beta test, we asked a variety of people to create a work with Gencaster that serves as a beta test but also shows the possibilities of Gencaster.
