Frequently posted on the Logic list are recommendations for:

but I have not had any experience of my own with this source.  I look at my 
G4 fan as if it were Glenn Gould, adding unrequested mutterings to 
otherwise quite beautiful sounds.

A bit like the tremolo spring reverb background noise opening of Talk 
Talk's "Laughing Stock," as if defining silence as the surface on which the 
later sounds are painted (as the white of paper is the surface for and the 
silence between the painting of calligraphic characters - to borrow from 
the liner notes of a recording of Cage and Hosakawa pieces on the Wergo label).

np - Eyeless in Gaza "Song of the Beautiful Wanton"
