Re: [microsound] algorithmic hardware



Yes, that's very true, the only difference with computers is that they
speed the process up, and let you do calculations that you might not
come up with in other ways...  

But to do algorithmic composition, all one really needs is paper,
pencil, a calculator, and maybe dice; and if you understand data flow in
a program like PD, you should be able to do it on paper by doing some
calculations by hand!  I might write a new string quartet that way soon
actually.

or... everything you do can be described as an algorithm for some
machine...

but this is not the point... what Cascone seems to say (in my 
opinion) is that you can realize on hardware stuff what you planned 
by compositional algorithms... algorithm is matter of thinking, not 
of realising...
