Music experimentation using Haskell's Euterpea Library
------------------------------------------------------
After looking through Haskell School of Music¹ by Hudak² and Quick³, I found
myself playing a little bit with the subject matter again. Nothing original
mind you, I am missing the talent for that sort of endeavour. I did find some
sheet music of Avril 14, a song⁴ off of the 2001 druKQs album⁵ by Aphex Twin⁶,
however. Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the sheet. So I can't pro-
perly attribute the person. I changed a couple of things, but nothing major. If
you know the song, you'll recognise it I am sure.
To give it a go you need this repository, and recursively: I adjusted the ori-
ginal Euterpea code to play nice with modern Cabal installations. Then on the
top-level there is stack setup to orchestrate everything. You'll also need a
synthesizer on your system to perform the actual playback. On Linux systems,
‘fluidsynth’ works.
With that in mind, here's a quick-start:
% fluidsynth &
% git clone --recursive https://github.com/ft/music
% cd music
% stack run
