I dunno, just got Thonk 0+2 from Tom Erbe's site (http://shoko.calarts.edu/~tre/CompMusMac/), it gives you 10 more options: Pentathon Shepard Dis Octaves stretch to 1 minute Octaves stretch to 5 minutes Plain stretch to 1 minute Plain stretch to 5 minutes Flash Slack ztochast!k=akadem!k wank (a bit of self-deprecating humour never hurts) along with yr classic Flowing/Hectic algorithms. You have to admit, use by Kim Cascone, Lesser & We doesn't exactly count for 'played out', but yeah, I've seen that one around since 1992, it's a bit old & a compositional sham anyways. People should should get more into coding their own DSP's (thank fucking god for MSP/Pluggo, can't cane it 'nuff...). It's crazy cause stuff like basic Akai Timestretching still fills my eyes+ears w/wonder... > 'Fuck it, if it sounds good, >> use it'.
