    In all seriousness, does anybody have a link to the podcast referenced http://www.technologyreview.com/TR35/Profile.aspx? Cand=T&TRID=428 that's a .wav, or something useable? I'd be curious to hear it.

    BTW, digital musicians might recognize Paris' name from CSound (http://www.csounds.com/).
