to generate random/semi-random patterns of notes/song structure/beats etc.

useful with live, reason, or any other computer music program with a "keyboard assign" option.
it is simple: you assign a different tone, sample, pattern, to every key on the keyboard and then once that is done, you "input" any text by typing it.

the result is a confusing, maybe harmonious, maybe dissonant, seemingly randon series that is nevertheless, completely reliant on the text. therefore, a strong/subtle connection between text and sound is formed.

in essence, this could be used as a type of code:
for example: A= C (octave shift)
B= D2
F= E (filter shift) etc. etc.
