  Description     : Domain Specific Language for musical pattern
embedded in Haskell

This is the Haskell library for TidalCycles (aka Tidal), a
Domain Specific Language for musical pattern.

It is a fairly popular library (almost top 100 on hackage), often used by
musicians rather than professoinal programmers, and having a debian package
would make it more accessible to a wider group of people.

To use TidalCycles an editor is required (e.g. emacs or atom) with a plugin,
and a synthesiser (e.g. SuperCollider running SuperDirt -
https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt/ ). Once the library is in
Debian, it would be great to have it all packaged in the future.
