thats a good point rachmiel, and I told you not to worry, I wasn't accusing you of button pushing. I myself am a glitcher, and understand the beauty of such things.

> not to worry, I wasn't accusing you of button pushing
thanks. :-)
because all my reaktor instruments and most of my compositions use randomization extensively, people often assume i make music by pushing a button, mastering, and calling it a piece. it's more like: pushing buttons over and over and over, recording the results, throwing away 4/5 of it, and then editing the remaining 1/5 over and over and over and over until a form presents itself, then honing this form, mastering, distribution.
i've never run into an instrument, mine or anyone else's, that can generate a stream of guided-random music that's so good it requires no (or even little) editing. randomization is a great starting point, but then comes the compositional challenge.

Indeed, I was going to step in and point out that I do prose, rick does poetry but he already beat me to it.
You think PC aleatory requires ediing you should try learning aleatory multiphonics on a woodwind. That's the only musical technique that really had my full mind/body participating at full involvement. Yeesh!
Or tablas are like that, too, but my reaction to that was to give up. Damned hardest intrument on the planet.
