Hi David,

sounds interesting. PD has quite a collection of random objects, but the 
cellular automata/neural network stuff isn't so immediately usable as 
the high-level objects I've seen in Max/MSP, but that's true in general 
about the differences between the two (PD = more DIY, no "black boxes", 
more low-level functions used vs. Max/MSP = more commercial, many 
high-level "black boxes" used instead of low-level objects).

I used some basic stochastic generators for an electromagnetic 
installation called OZONE a year or two ago. Actually, I wish I had 
spent more time developing the algorithms, because once I started 
looking at all the stuff on generative art out there.

I did find a few links to some interesting stuff already:

http://www.generativeart.com/ [many papers from several years of 
conferences]

[OR http://tinyurl.com/6wkxd]
http://dataisnature.com/ [nice blog, BTW!]

For the Soundscape-FM.net project, we'll be developing some kind of 
"intelligent" system to make mixes of the sounds based on transit 
between two points (i.e. play me a linear mix of all sounds in the 
database occurring if one were to travel between Amsterdam and Tokyo), 
but that is still under development and will go on-line in April.

I'd be interested as well to hear about other projects out there.

best,
derek
