[microsound] On impossibility of linux

[Renato Fabbri]

install numpy

$ python this_file_in_the_link_below.py
((( http://pastie.org/1751041 )))

hear something just with the minimum of structure:
some duration, volume, timber, pitch, temporal localization,
and spatial localization for each 'thing', 'note' or 'event', minimum
particle, atom.

and play the output: sequencia.wav

something like 'minimum-fi.py'. (does the term exist already?)

mess with the numbers in it and make music. When you
understand something in the code, mess with some structures and
do more music.

i think windows and mac-related practices lack
this kind of natural thinking (or materialization of ideas). Maybe in just
the same way as linux sometimes lacks some UI stuff for utilities...

ps. you can do granular synthesis and spectral music with that script.
Imagine the rest that is pure direct consequence..
