+Mike and Andres speak to Alex McLean who created the TidalCycles
+system for electronic music - implemented in Haskell of course. We
+talk about how Alex got into Haskell coming from Perl, how types
+helped him think about the structure of music and patterns, the
+architecture and evolution of TidalCycles, about art, community and
+making space for new ideas, and lots of things in between.
