Hi, 

As well as the suggestions so far, you could try some other approaches: have a 
look at Rosegarden (Midi and audio sequencer and scoring), Hydrogen (drum 
sequencer), Freewheeling and Kluppe (loopers), Freebirth 
(synthesiser/sequencer/sampler), Jackbeat (audio sequencer), to name a few.

(Note that some of these require the jack sound server to be installed and 
running, and a softsynth like fluidsynth can make life easier too - I 
recommend the qjackctl and qsynth frontends for these.)

And have a browse through the sound section of the Debian package lists to see 
what else you can find!

Good luck,

John
