Cahors (pl.n.)

The rushes of emotion triggered by overheard snatches of an old song.

From The Deeper Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd.

Cahors is a MIDI sequencer for the Arduino microcontroller platform. Music is composed in code, in the form of arrays of notes and pointers to note patterns. The music is played via a MIDI synthesiser connected to the Arduino.
