Has anyone heard David Tudor's, "Synthesis Nos. 6-9"? I have rainforest and that is amazing! Good live electronics. Or John Cages, "Music For Merce Cunningham"? David Tudor is involved with that as well. Any feedback on these items would be most useful. :) Thanks Chad http://home.earthlink.net/~twinesound

I assume you're talking about _Neural Synthesis, Nos. 6-9_, the dbl CD on Lovely? It's a real head-spinner; the idea behind it was to create a fake-neural net of electronics that could take arbitrary input and create a musical piece with some element of determinism (not unlike his other works, Rainforest included, or say a straight-to-tape utilization of Ovalprocess). His aim in these kinds of pieces was to create a sort of real-time musique concrete. The results of this particular exercise is an amazingly dense binaural onslaught of electronic buzzing (definitely listen with headphones). Closest thing I can think would be Christoph Heeman's solo stuff (like _Aftersolstice_ on Barooni) or to a superficial extent, the grenade explosion part of Xenakis' _Legende d'Eer_. -rob
