(HMSL) A programming language for
experimental music composition and performance. It is a set
of
object-oriented extensions to
Forth. (Its near-total
unintelligibility to people unfamiliar with
Forth has led
some to expand "HMSL" as "Her Majesty's Secret Language".)
Phil Burk (who also later developed
pForth), Larry Polansky,
and David Rosenboom started developing HMSL in 1980 while
working at the
Mills College Center for Contemporary Music. As of
June 1998, development is ongoing.
