i used software to make this music:
vim lets me compose arbitrary text
perl lets me generate text
wigout turns text into sound

i wasn't afraid to let it sound like a machine- artificially generated
[since it was].  this time, i tried embracing both bleeps and blorps.

i always welcome serendipity.

the middle section was generated by a perl script. i wrote out the
rhythm like it was gamelan music in a 3 note scale. it goes from 8 to 2
beats, subtracting one by one. i kept it in a *.sco file of notes and
beats [because it is a csound-ish thing to do].  i had the perl script
parse this file, then do the calculations to speed up the tempo
gradually, and add the background noise.

i like the idea of music generated by software.
