 # Lambeat
-Bytebeat in Scheme
+Lambeat is a new way to make music using functional programming. It's heavily influenced by [Bytebeat](https://dollchan.net/bytebeat) and initially started out as an reimplementation of Bytebeat in Scheme. Since then, it's grown to be a delightful new way to make music with code.
 
-You can use `guile main.scm | play -r 8000 -t s16 -v 0.25 -` to try it out.
+## Get started
+First, install [Sox](https://sox.sourceforge.net/) and clone this repo. Write some music in `music.scm`. Enjoy your music with `guile lambeat.scm | play -r 8000 -t s16 -`!
