Last weekend I did an installation in a room wrapped in bubble-wrap.  Friends 
had the idea, and asked me to "do something interesting with sound."  

A bubble-wrap pop isn't terribly interesting on its own, so I thought I'd 
pitch-shift (starting with the pitchshift example patch) and delay the inputs, 
and then I added randomization of the pitch shifting and delay parameters.  On 
top of that, I randomized the intervals at which the params were updated.  I 
used four mic inputs and randomized panning to four outputs.  The patch, 
ultimately, looked like this:

Kind of ugly there, but it's a work in progress, and worked great for the 
three-and-a-half-hour installation time.  I didn't worry much about feedback, 
but the mics did pick up the input, so there was a generative thing going on 
there, particularly by the end.  

The results, summed to stereo:

Now I'm experimenting the patch on oscillators:

In a few weeks, I'll be doing an improv show in which I'll use this on guitar.  
Should be fun.
