Interestingly todays UK Guardian has an article on a genetic breeding system
designed to produce programs that produce a light show for
Disco's,Raves,Clubs, etc. You breed your favoured algorithms together until
you find one that suits what you do. Apparently they can be bred to listen
to certain parts of the music and to vary as much or as little as you like.
