I like this idea. Might as well. Of course, do we actually purchase this or
bootleg it? how does the act of purchase add another layer to the "tool is
the message", "sample is the intelligence" issue? if you knew someone bought
the disc, would that change your impression of the music? does the artist's
buying power dictate a piece's validity?

or perhaps you just work, as you did with Twine, from the free samples
online.

or perhaps Sony/ACIDPlanet might endorse this for an official contest and
release the results on CD. now that would be a hoot!
