Immersion is an improvisation that explores its location sonically and seeks to find reconciliation between the artificial, synthesized sounds and the actual organic space they occupy.

Immerse is a network distributed synthesis engine suitable for improvisation, performance and composition activities. Currently only suitable for competent Max/MSP users Immerse operates on both MacTel and XP Boxes.

The application is separated in to two separate parts, the client synthesis engine and the server controller. The application is capable of tolerating multiple servers and clients however the servers do not intelligent link in version 0.9.
