Sound on BEAM: Music in the Land of Distributed Lisp
While not built for sound or digital signal processing Erlang excels in the realm where music control systems have converged: network message-passing.
In this talk Duncan will provide some brief background and share previous related sound-generation work on the BEAM then cover a recent effort in Lisp Flavoured Erlang LFE to integrate with well-established improvisational tools and music recording systems.
Full use of LFEOTP behaviours and supervision trees will be covered as well as application start phases for synchronizing system startup.
In addition LFEs strength as a platform for creating DSLs will be covered in the dual context of integrating with multiple systems and creating generative music.

The undertone project:
The music for the video was created with LFE and undertone running the Extempore backend for MIDI control using 9 tracks of SynthMaster 2.9 as VST plugins in StudioOne 4.
CONJVNCTIO IOVIS ET SATVRNI is the first piece by the Forgotten Tones project and is named after the historic astronomical event that was occurring in the final moments of the compositions completion.
The full 10 min piece will be published soon on SoundCloud.
