Paul Lansky often emphasizes the computer's ability to function as an "aural microscope" -- that is, as a tool to let both composer and listener "get inside" a sound and experience it within the larger context of the music that goes on around us every day. A composition in which he succeeds particularly well is Night Traffic, written in 1990 using software that the composer himself wrote for both digitally manipulating and assembling (mixing) sounds.
