It is very nice to see such things. I will re-read carefully the content. I think that simple entertainment is somehow limited. It should not be a waste of time (and money).

I am probably asking too much ! ;) (and i don't think i can stream everything into PureData). > > How could an electronica soundtrack be exploited to entertain the > > audience ? > > Question is, how does the audience need to be entertained?

Using an electronica soundtrack is a possibilty of a concrete application with PD, the music and the place can change everthing. That ask for a more accurate project from me, whereas i don't have one. PureData can handle external controlers like joystick, mouse, gamepad. You can read from midiport, that's add a great number of device. And you can read from audio inputs, so you can use micrphone, etc.. "How does the audience need to be entairtained": this question could be well considered under the light of the "social technology idea". Something like relaxation stuff could be a great idea.. I am now thinking to produce some relaxing 3D visuals and music with PD. :) > Have you also looked at Synaesthesia: > http://yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au/~pfh/synaesthesia.html I am downloading it.
