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

[Iván Orosa Paleo]

Hi list,
<quote> You should be finding participants who Don't have experience 
in algorithmic composing in order to yield the best results for your 
research <end quote>

that's actually a good point. However, it seems to me that certain 
previous, ground knowledge might be required. Is it so? If it is, what 
would be it in your opinion.

I have no previous experience with algorithmic composition and I would 
be willing to participate.

Salud,
Iván
