Hi, Bob is certainly right about this being the right group to post this to. The Random Music for Y2K project is a really neat idea. Let's fill that table up!...

... Tend to agree. I also wonder if popular means "better" somehow? Some of the world's finest music was not popular initially. Stravinsky's La Sacre, anyone?...

Paul, I think we are using the term broadly, and including generative forms as well. I think the future will see more and more "hybridizations". It is a tool...
