Does anyone know something about the synthesizer program they are using? I saw it is not yet published, but I wasn't sure if there was some information about what type of synthesis it was using or what the processing chain was like.

there's a few synthesis libs they could be using: max, ChucK, SuperCollider, Impromptu, CSound

there've been some relevant threads e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7571082

(i've never tried any, still geting to grips with engines like DSI mopho, korg ms2k, blofeld, minibrute, bass station etc

That may be unlikely, considering a few of the things you mentioned are proprietary or not available for OpenBSD. What is more likely is that Alexandre created something new, which makes sense considering he also created the sndio API discussed in the article.

yes, that's not unlikely, and very interesting if its the case.

the openbsd audio stuff is very interesting. and sort of odd for that platform to have.

pureData would be my first guess.

Is OpenBSD well suited for realtime synthesis? I've been looking for a minimal platform (no graphics) with better latency than linux out of the box, to use with SuperCollider and puredata.

Great Youtube video of the band playing!

Where can I find this video? Wasn't in the link or on the website.
