Hey, guys! I've been fascinated by this sound for awhile now.
But I'm having a time, trying to learn, seems Stochastic, and granular synths are perfect for it. Any opinions?
Any one making this style?

The entire book is phenomenal, but the diagram for "Time Scales of Music" on page 5 truly blew my f'in mind in terms of situating sound/music-making as a time-based activity.

I read that book many years ago, and can vouch that it's quite good.
A well-behaved signature.
