Chris Ford demonstrates how music theory can be represented as code, live-coding musical abstractions in Clojure using Overtone.
Video with transcript included: bit.ly/37kor33 Chris Ford demonstrates that music theory can be delightfully represented as code. He shows how to make music starting with the basic building block of sound, the sine wave, and gradually accumulates abstractions culminating in a canon by Johann Sebastian Bach. Examples will be live-coded in Clojure.

He uses Overtone, and builds up his own little musical 'language' (DSL if you like), by defining lower level functions and then composing (!) them into progressively higher level ones.
Overtone supports playing different waveforms and samples IIRC
