so, i'm interested in thoughts any of you might have about the<br>
possibility of fluxus+fluxa really being a viable environment for what<br>
i'm doing; my sense is that it's a real stretch to think that it's truly<br>
appropriate -- which is truly a shame, because it is just simply such a<br>
beautiful and intuitive thing! :(<br>

Fluxa was really only intended as an experiment in a possible way of<br>
doing audio, rather than a do-everything production type of thing. I'm<br>
still using it for slub gigs quite a lot, but trying to keep it small<br>
than add too many features.<br>
<br>
I would agree with Peter that overtone is probably a good balance for a<br>
more complete environment with a lisp interface (also with a really<br>
active community), but it would be good to see more diversity in this area.<br>

thanks a lot, guys... Overtone does look very interesting, and i hadn't heard about it! neither of you mentioned ChucK... any thoughts?<br>
<br>
(beginning Overtone installation...) :)<br>
