Music from code is a very interesting idea, but it always struck me as a something to be done after a melody is made rather than a tool for creating music. The instantaneous translation of motion to music on an instrument is difficult if not impossible to replicate with code. Euclidean rhythms are a good application.

I remember seeing someone perform a live gig at a Haskell conference programming music in real time - there's probably videos online somewhere (youtube)
Don't think this is at a haskel conference, but this looks like fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1m0aX9Lpts. Their web site is https://sonic-pi.net/.

Sonic Pi is really neat, especially the work that has been done using Erlang in the playback scheduler.

Almost certainly 'yaxu who has a bunch of videos on YouTube re: TidalCycles (the live coding env he created in Haskell) - https://www.youtube.com/@yaxu/videos
Also does a lot on the Euler Room channel including a live stream this last weekend - https://www.youtube.com/@Eulerroom/videos
There's a web based version called Strudel that's a good way to get a quick intro without the hassle of the TidalCycles setup - https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/
