Re: [microsound] ancient generative music

[billy <glitchkitten@xxxxxxxxx>]

very ancient greek generative instrument.  very large harp is placed in 
an open field where the wind is generally good.  the wind vibrates the 
strings (which I think were metal but I'd have to look that up)  which 
generate harmonic frequencies.  all natural drone installation.
