Townshend and Generative Lifehouse

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the aint-this-bitchin dept.

reformhead writes "Just found this article over at Canoe about how The Who's Pete Townshend is planning on releasing 3 box sets of his rock opera "Lifehouse". The third box set will be a limited edition that will include a software key you can use to import personal data about yourself that will in turn be used to generate an individual piece of music for you. " 1. Pete Townshend==God. 2. Generative Music==Cool. 3. The original Lifehouse was based on this same idea, but its pretty cool that its finally gonna happen. And if any of Townshend's PR people stumble on this, I wanna interview Pete for Slashdot.

    Deep within the nestled chroot()'d directories of Rob Malda's Precision Cut Head lies Slashdot...but nobody knew where this ever growing tumor of a side project turned major stock came from from. Nobody knew...until:

    And if any of Townshend's PR people stumble on this, I wanna interview Pete for Slashdot.

    Slashdot is just a gigantic ploy to let Rob Malda satisfy his lifelong wish to talk to Pete Townshend!

    "...and thus it was written in the Book Of Dot, 'O Lord, How May I Speak To Your Musical Prophet', and the Lord replied, 'Yea, ye shall verily speak with thy prophet, but spread far and wide my message of openness and birds that do fail to fly. For that is the way to happiness; the road to bethlehem is with the Geek!"

    Yours (Hopefully) Amusingly,
