That sounds great. I'm really getting into using Symbolic Composer at the moment. I would definitely like to be involved.

For counterpoint and harmony, there are treatises and structured methods but for the 20th century idiom with all its facets, there is no structured pedagogical means for students to learn about algorithmic composition. I would like to write a method book to allow students to learn about algorithmic composition, giving them information and i the end of each chapter some exercises. It would be like the book of Straus about posttonal theory, only it will focus on algorithmic methods.

My question now is: Are there people from the microsound mailing list interested in participating in such a research. I would write a chapter and exercises, share them with you and letting you write small exercises and then collecting and comparing the results of each exercise. This would be like one year. What is in it for you: eternal glory and I will try to record as many compositions possible to include in a CD.
