Though the program is written for Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL)
people might neverless be interested by this IRCAM announcement
on INFO-MCL (the mailing list for MCL):
-------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: OpenMusic GPL distribution
From: assayag gerard <··············@ircam.fr>
OpenMusic
a Visual Programming Language
GPL distribution available
OpenMusic (OM) is a fully visual programming language based on CommonLisp /
CLOS. OM is icon oriented, uses extensively drag and drop and graphical
editors, and has built-in visual control structures that interface with
Lisp ones, such as loop. Existing Lisp/CLos code is easily reused. Above
the OpenMusic kernel, live the OpenMusic Projects. A project is a
specialized set of classes and methods directly written in Lisp, accessible
and visualisable in the OM environment.Using the Basic Project, OM may be
used as a general purpose functional/object/visual programming language.
Using the Music Project it can be used as a convenient environment for
music composition.
OpenMusic sources are available under the GNU Public License (GPL) .
Right now, a working OM environment can be compiled only on the Macintosh
using Digitool MCL compiler.
Making the OpenMusic sources available through GPL should result soon in
new versions compiled with Open Sources Common Lisp compilers, specially on
unix/linux environments.
The OM distribution is available at :
ftp.ircam.fr:pub/IRCAM/equipes/repmus/openmusic/
and
http://www.ircam.fr in the software download section.

I'd say, Open Music is quite cool. ;-)
