If all we are is a pattern of atoms *thoughts*, then we have already

more about this software, but I heard that all of Jimi Hendrix's music was
fed into a computer. The computer then analyzed, deciphered, and
constructed consistent patterns from Jimi Hendrix's music. The programmers
then set up a blues progression of a few chords and applied the Jimi Hendrix
pattern to it. Amazingly, the resulting jam session sounded like an
authentic Hendrix composition.

This really amazed me and was food for thought. Do any of you think that a
label would use computers to compose music using this method? A band of
programmers with musical talent could go far! Max ..vocals Natasha...vocals
  Eliezer...drums Ray.. guitar Emlyn.. keyboard
with Colonal Greg Burch as the manager!

THE EXTROPIANS WORLD TOUR!

(I can't wait to see the videos!)

sincerely,
