A tribute to small futile projects and general random thinking

Using ipods to write melody

-Record short intervals of various pitches in a variety of timbres
-import them into a playlist on an ipod
-set the playmode to random and let the ipod choose the progression of notes.
*i've used this to execute random subbass melodies in live performance, but it is applicable in a variety of ways.
**other digital devices can of course be used (minidisc, cd player etc.) but ipod seems to do it's random transition the fastest and smoothest.
