This paper is predicated on the argument that real-time computer-generated music exists on a spectrum of liveness . First, a brief discussion of liveness situates the question of liveness in real-time computer music. Then, comparing terminology for liveness in real-time computer music characterizes the issues involved. Finally, several musical examples delineate the liveness spectrum in question.
