In theory you should get intricate sequences with lots of warbling 303 glides, although as soon as two blobs a connected with a line they are treated as a single blob. In practice there are bugs and the more blobs there are, the more get missed out of the sequence for some reason... Must return to this sometime soon Thanks Evan..

You've probably seen this oldy but goody: http://balldroppings.com Ha, lots of great graphical score stuff in the 1950s, like Earl Brown’s classic “December 1952″:

Yep Jamie I think this approach has a lot of promise, which means it's probably all been done before, probably in the 50s, documented on a lot of fanfold paper in the attics of forgotten geniuses. Got anything in particular in mind?

Seeing your experiment has got me thinking about a load of possibilities. Nice work. I love the idea of drawing to make sound.
