I can anticipate hundreds of approaches, from critical political economy to social constructivism to what-have-you ... but then again, ...

I'm presenting a keynote this Sunday for an event called Open Mobile, presented in part by Mobile Muse as part of New Forms Festival 2008.

Bitnotic created this program called Chill that generates ambient music 'randomly' (that would be impossible). It's not bad - but if I could port this to whatever soft synths I wanted it'd be ideal (e.g., the voicing built in to the app appears to be merely Quicktime Instruments). At any ...
