No, I don't believe he has released it yet. However, I went to a lecture he gave a few months ago about the Skotodesk thing, and he demoed the software for a reasonably-sized crowd. I think the reaction was mostly something like, "This program is really nothing to write home about." Basically, it seemed to be a wave looper with controls for pitch, panning, and volume adjustment. The interface was unorthodox (not to say confusing and too loud for my taste), but nothing at all interesting in the way of sound design, as far as I could tell. It was really too bad -- I left the lecture with a really sour taste in my mouth. Not so much about the disappointing software (in fact, that almost made me admire him even more as a musician) as about his views on music, which were confused, confusing, and even a little bit nihilistic. Without sounding particularly fresh, somehow. What a shame, because I am *deeply* in love with most of his music that I've heard. Peter
