There are a few FP-related piece you might want to know, but as long as you understand the idea of first-class functions (passing a function to another function as an argument), then you should be able to get your head around it quickly. It's definitely worth it, and may be a great way to generate sounds for games as well.

Overtone itself is a bit more sophisticated/batteries-included than the video lets on, because he builds up everything himself to show there's no magic.

Thanks. It turns out I enjoyed this very much, and though the syntax was a bit foreign it made a lot more sense than I expected.
