as well as some examples of earlier attempts.
- MELA Foundation
-- LaMonte Young/Marian Zazeela "Dream House" place.
- Victor's home page
-- a lot of amazing work here!

-- one of Victor's links; this has an in-depth discussion (in his thesis)

Applications and Examples
Class patches:
Included in the above archive are the "burundi1-mono.wav" soundfile (excerpt
from the larger recording of Burundi Warrior drummers), the "downhits.aiff"
and "uphits.aiff" sounfiles we recorded, and the
MEAPsoft
analysis files we used to determine the timing in our simple model.
After I (brad) did the Burundi thingy, Sam talked about his analysis
of Lamonte Young's Dream House work, and then Victor Adan
discussed sieve and markov models as they relate to Xenakis' work
Psappha.
