I think rich has missed the point. I sometimes create installations similar to the site described in real life, with old keyboards, effects, doll parts and dead things. They're easily playable by just about anyone, and no matter what you do to them, they sound good. That's the point. It's an installation, it's art, it's a toy, it's interactive, it's fun. It's NOT a musical instrument. I'm not inventing a new way for professionals to get the music in their heads and hearts out into the world, I'm not creating a new paradigm in composition, I'm just integrating two things I really like to do: music and sculpture. I think these flash sites are in the same vein. -><- On Fri, 8 Sep 2000, StephanN wrote: > hi rich, > > I'm sorry the pianographique wasn't cool enough for you.
