ixi software is an open source experimental project concerned with building musical instruments where the interface is at the same time a meta-composition.

ixi runs a label as well where music is released under the Creative Commons license.

[1] A popular release is the ixiQuarks software suite which is built on top of SuperCollider, allowing for much of the expressive computational power of that environment.

The user is faced with the simplicity of ixi software with seamless access to SuperCollider both within the ixiQuarks and at the side.

These software packages are used for teaching computer music (particularly live coding) in higher education in diverse international institutions.
