Max! Great someone else knows this, I wondered if any techno producers were
using it. Many an hour spent at the terminal developing programs for it.
Those fauz-Boulez =FCber-serial compositions it can come up with are
astounding. Substitute breaks for piano, voila! You've got an aleatoric
strain of drum n'bass (albeit, not very catchy or danceable, but great to
listen to...).

np: Nobukazu Takemura- Child and Magic (Warners Japan) - I can't believe
there hasn't been a ton of bandwidth about this one. Truly brilliant (and
crystal-clear) record of everything from Terry Riley/Steve Reich-esque
hocketing to really great break-fuckery (ala Spymania/Bovinyl/etc...), to
prepared piano/chamber music mutations. His other tracks/records are mostly
downtempo, but also worth checking out. It's astonishing what's coming out
on major labels in Japan these days. I'm sure there's no chance in hell of
a domestic issue of this, but at least it exists.
