[microsound] any interest in participating in a research project?

[Ryan Dunn]

It seems to me that asking this list to be your sample pool would be  
like asking doctors to try basic anatomy lessons and tell you whether  
they are successful.  You should be finding participants who Don't  
have experience in algorithmic composing in order to yield the best  
results for your research.
