- This may not be the answer you wanted, but...
- We implanted transistors in the brains of some students in Detroit,
- and now their computers tell them what to do and when to do it.
- They just carry out commands; flip a few switches, turn a few
- knobs--voila! Instant music!

- Seriously, you should get in touch with the folks at ICMA. There's
- lots of work going on in algorithmic composition. I suspect a lot of
- these people can be contacted via email.

- Also, it depends on your computer platform. There are lots of things
- on the Mac, especially with things like MAX and HyperMIDI to make it
- easy to write the software.
