I was talking  to tob, an analog  synth  purist.   Well,  my
ancient ('retro')  and cheap, semi-functional  boxens aren't
at  risk  of  transmogriphying  into  hard  electronics   or
anything else in violation of the third law. 

Years  ago I met an analog  systems  researcher.   He  would
discover stuff conventional highly syncronous digital models
couldn't   find by putting  together  medleys  of  unclocked
electronics  and mechanical  devices.  That's the vibe I was
getting from tob. 

Wishes, fishes. What I've got is a handful of digital  bytes
and a few compilers.  Before building zainy physical systems
that  researcher   would assemble  systems  of  fake  analog
digital components in toy models. 

I'm already doing that a little, in that I am starting async
threads   of audio  and then capturing  from a system  sound
monitor device. 

Perhaps   I  can evoke my inner tob digital  simulacrum   by
feeding  my system sound monitor capture  back into my async
processes*. 

*For historical reasons, ECL threads are called processes.

ldbeth  refered  me at common  lisp music, a fully  featured
synth  package  with  several complete  instruments,  and  a
synthetic  classical  piano bit. I did this (sans  cl music)
years ago too, though feeding Mozart  to recorded  harmonica
notes. 

Maybe I can wed this to a pseudo-analog  autonymous  dynamic
feedback  control system.  I guess I know enough to start to
start.  Really wish I had talked more about my friend  Hal's
research with him instead of just Prisoner fandom.
