Live music programming in Haskell

Abstract

We aim for composing algorithmic music in an interactive way with multiple participants. To this end we have developed an interpreter for a sub-language of the non-strict functional programming language Haskell that allows the modification of a program during its execution. Our system can be used both for musical live-coding and for demonstration and education of functional programming.
