I was excited to run across this free PDF book a few years ago but haven’t done much with it. An alternative is Pope’s Common Lisp music tools.

  After some searching online, I wasn't able to come up with anything for Pope's Common Lisp music tools. But it sounds really interesting. Any pointers to help find it/them?

Unfortunately Paul Hudak died in 2015, so this will never be finished or updated now.

  Did some digging, looks like it was finished by Donya Quick: http://www.euterpea.com/haskell-school-of-music/ http://www.euterpea.com/haskell-school-of-music/

    She also wrote a Python port: https://github.com/donya/PythonEuterpea https://github.com/donya/PythonEuterpea (I don't know how complete it is.)

  Oh no... Paul Hudak's book "The Haskell School of Expression" is probably the most beautiful programming-related book I ever read. It not only got me into Haskell (significantly altering my programming path in life), it was also such a joy to read.

There is also Extempore[0] and Overtone[1] in case anyone is interested. My favorite live-coded symphony is this[2] one.

  As extra info, though the parent comment author probably already knew it, the [2] video is made by the same person that created Extempore, a Lisp dialect on top of LLVM for multimedia live code: Andrew Sorensen. This guy is awesome.

Anyone else bothered by the font on the code example in this book? I peruse through the first 2 chapters and the font made it very hard to read through the code quickly. I really wish the publisher would use a different font when the finished book comes out than what's shown here.
