Can anyone confirm whether this is the software used by the AlgoRave collective in the article that was posted the other day. I tried looking around their websites for the software they used, the closest I reached was that it used haskell. (AlgoRave article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6808744 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6808744) This looks very similar however It doesn't mentioned haskell anywhere, despite the syntax looks like haskell/a similar functional language.

Nope, from the video, it doesn't look like they are using Overtone at all. Overtone is a Clojure frontend/library to the Supercollider synth.

They use tidal (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tidal https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tidal), and it is indeed written in Haskell.

Everyone uses different tools. Lots of people build their own. Overtone, the tool in this post, is a clojure frontend to SuperCollider (http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/ http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/). Overtone is used to describe synthesiser networks which are then executed by SuperCollider.

As the person typing in that video, I can confirm that it is tidal. Actually I am not aware of anyone else getting as far as using tidal in performance yet, hopefully soon. Meta ex have played at a couple of algoraves using overtone. At the algorave in Sheffield there was * Yaxu - tidal * Curious machine - game of life cellular automata and a visualiser on the SNES * Sick Lincoln - SuperCollider mostly pre composed * Shelly and some Mandelbrots - SuperCollider as well, live coded * Section 9 - ixi lang * Luuma - loads of crazy stuff built in c++, I think running on FPGAs Check http://algorave.com http://algorave.com and http://toplap.org http://toplap.org for info, videos and links

For a talk that actually uses Overtone, I'd suggest this one: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/music-functional-language http://www.infoq.com/presentations/music-functional-language
