Who knows which direction the ideas travel?  Everyone adds their own
touch, and those new twists recirculate.

I used a program on the Amiga similar to Metasynth for many sounds in
Soundtrack for "Chaos Theory in Practice" (should be out sometime but
probably not next).

I have also read about a Japanese artist who translated the shapes of I
think Japanese characters into short (20ms?) "atoms" of sound.  The
process was quite involved and I can't recount it.

The point is there are few -new- ideas, but many possible applications of
those ideas.
