This sounds really good, it would be really good to see/hear this one
day. Maybe we should organise some kind of TOPLAP conference.

Wow... How fast can you build up a piece of music in such a minimalist
environment?

Handy, although I suppose one problem is that it can't save what you
were thinking about at that moment. Maybe this is less of a problem for
other people though, my memory is terrible.
It says on your website that you're synthaesthetic. You're probably
quite bored of explaining this all the time but I have to ask, which of
your senses does this effect? Do you see different colours/taste
different foods when you look at different algorithms? :) How does this
affect your programming?
