My composition teacher told me about the experience of playing the
surrealist game of "Exquisite Corpses" with several of his friends in
his student days. One would take a sheet of music paper and write a
line of music plus a note, fold it over, and pass it to the next
person who would proceed from the last note of the person before them.
I guess you could do this with computer music too. One person could
write a line of zeroes and ones on a sheet of paper and pass it to the
next person. The last person could unfold the sheet and type it into a
hex editor and put a soundfile header on it and burn it to CD. Just a
thought.

"Flaubert’s Parrot" by Julian Barnes
ahh Flaubert's Parrot. that's a good one.
on another note, how do you take the cleverness
of literary games to music? i mean you have to
know a language to read it, but you don't have
to know music to listen to it, hence a lot of the
word play and tricks that mark great literature
seem to be less translatable to music.
