[sdiy] Jean-Claude Risset, Shephard etc.

[Harry Bissell Jr]

Fractint can save the random output data, and some
list member at the fractint group wrote some prog. to
convert it to a midi file

A member by the name for Fred Nachbauer (sp?) did
a CD using this data.  I think a google search would
fetch his site, and you could ask him.

Fractint gives some VERY nice sequences...especially
if
you set the tuning parameters to some scale OTHER than
chromatic. I like the pentatonic scale myself... Too
bad the sound card sound, and polyphony sucks so bad
(almost as bad as a bbd :^).  Notes get cut off by new
notes. Sending a Midi file to a REAL instrument would
sound a lot better, and so trippy :^P
