Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
The article introduces a program called 'Sound As Pure Form' (sapf), which is an interpreter for a language designed for creating and transforming sound using functional, stack-based, postfix notation similar to FORTH. It utilizes lazy, possibly infinite sequences to represent audio and control events, aiming to provide high-level functions with automatic mapping and reduction operators.
Key quotes
