MOTM

the algorythms may not be new, but the performance aspect is.  People with 
access to real time computer synthesis will come up with different ways of 
using their existing tools, which in turn will lead to the development of 
new tools.  There is definietly room for improvement and innovation in the 
world of laptop music.  I've been to many boring concerts.  I think 
real-time re-synthesis using live performers for sound sources has a lot 
of potential.  Also, it seems like there's a a lot of potential working 
with tunings.  It's not a new tool, but it's one that not a lot of people 
are using.

I dunno what new synthesis algorythms that academia is busy inventing, but 
hopefully I will soon. :)
