Tidal Cycles – Live coding music with Algorithmic patterns

Tidal Cycles is a free, open-source live-coding environment written in Haskell that creates algorithmic musical patterns and drives synthesis and MIDI through SuperCollider. It supports polyphonic, polyrhythmic and generative sequences, and has inspired a family of similar tools such as the web-based Strudel environment. The platform is actively used by a global community of musicians for composition, improvisation and algorithmic music exploration.
