Stephen Wolfram, author of the software Mathematica, has just started a new service, WolframTones, which employs fractals to "randomly" create semi-structured midi ringtones. The image above is how WT represents the constituent sounds of the tone I "made." Generally, the results sound like Steve Reich or John Cage knockoffs. But for $2, that's good enough for my cell phone. Be sure to play with the 'piano,' 'signalling,' and 'experimental' music genres.

So now that I'm back in the blogging action I hope you get back to it on a regular basis too... I've been missing being able to peek into your life.
