While doing some spring cleaning around my hard disk, I found a little Haskell program I wrote several years ago in an attempt to learn the basics of music theory. Now, I’m not a pro at writing Haskell, and I know even less about music theory, but I’m hoping that what I wrote down back then is a bit accurate. The program seems to summarize the basics quite consisely: by just having a glance at the program, I’m rediscovering some things I totally forgot about scales and chords.

Basic Music Theory in Haskell

Sunday, February 24th, 2008Like most of us, I like to listen to music when I’m in my car. Since the radio doesn’t always play what I want, I always keep a few compilations from my own library handy to put in my car’s MP3/CD player (no, I don’t have an iPod dock yet). However, I always found it very hard to keep track of the songs I had already burnt to a disc for my car, and I eventually lost the courage to burn new discs with more recent library additions. However, over time, most of the discs I did create went on a journey to CD heaven, and so now I found myself having to compile new MP3 discs all over again. Luckily, iTunes turns out to make the task of creating and managing compilation discs a breeze.
Sampling away with the SPD-S

Lately, I have been searching for ways to trigger loops and samples from behind my drum kit. After playing around with a less than ideal setup involving many cables and devices (see below), I decided to buy myself a Roland SPD-S sampling pad. Turned out to be a pretty good move !
