Instead of random, you could do a GA type approach. Have the computer
pick 10 random connection matricies (meaning 10 different connections
of patches), you listen to a 440Hz through each one, pick two you like,
then do it again. Keep going until you find something you really like,
or start over. In the end, have the computer emit a human readable
patch descrption.
