i think oval is one of these "artists". not only does his software help create his music, i believe it helps him look like he is about to puke and/or pass out when he performs. chris. i am not daniel. i am not peach. i am not sterile. music, four lunchpails: wednesdays 7-8pm kuci 88.9fm www.kuci.org "chicks dig laptops"

Funny that you should ask this on the same day I plug Jake's new web site. It's mentioned there (in a Worm Interface press release) that he is "writing his own granular synthesis and real-time compositional software (which is incorporated into a live show that we hope to bring to the UK next year)." Of course, outside of the *comparatively* traditional IDM/techno scene is the highly academic world of avant-garde computer music, much of which is based upon the idea of software design as a primary compositional tool. Write a program, record the results. For more information, contact just about any university's music department. Al.

I don't know what happened to RDJ's efforts recently. He wasn't writing it himself though, he was getting a mate of his who was a computer programmer to write him a program which created music entirely on it's own, enabling him to, and I quote : "...spend more time shagging..." :) Obviously, everything he says in the press should be taken with a rather large skip of salt...

i try to pay attention to this kind of crossover, and to my knowledge many artists are claiming to write software, but none are doing it. csound doesn't qualify as "writing software," in case someone feels there are exceptions :) even oval's s/w is written by a friend. p.s. i also know about the demo scene and that there is probably some coder guy who also makes musical bits, but these aren't significant to me.

not before we regurgitate what we've heard to everyone within ear- and eyeshot, apparently. eric
