(from the description on the website)

   -freeware "algorithmic electronica composer", I always knew it, now that's the proove, techno doesn't require any skills :-)
   -it does not just help for hardware setup problems during live act situations, people never will stand around stupid without dancing while you are solving your audio-problems, if the crowd is drunk enough they won't notice :-]
   -the second main task of Saiko is, even if you are to drunk to locate sliders, you can ask any person to do the job for you meanwhile, even girls! (just a quotation, hehe)
   -doesnt generate pure random stuff, most generated rifflines follow some psychedelic/goa directives
   -combines realtime synthesis + sampling, you can also load wav loop layers (2 loopers + 1 slicer) to add some special events

Mouser pointed out this post when I asked in the IRC channel what everyone likes to listen to while coding.

I am in need of some new stuff to listen to.

Normally I listen to stuff like this:


* Bjorn Lynne
* California Guitar Trio
* Godspeed You Black Emperor
* Jean Michel Jarre
* Jethro Tull
* Joe Satriani
* Kenny G
* Mike Oldfield
* Pink Floyd
* Shadow Gallery
* Tracy Scott Silverman
* Vanessa Mae
* Yanni
* Yngwie Malmsteen
I tend to have the idea of the right music not having any distracting lyrics, must be calming in nature, and unless I am sure I damn well know what I am doing, it can't have a bouncy techno beat.

I have a strong attraction to classical guitar, violin, and flute music. They have a certain emotional effect on me that seems to lessen the feelings of frustration that I am prone to (frustration makes me cry).

The exceptions:


* Albinoni Adagios
* Hearts of Space
These are reserved for sleeping music and pain management.

App, you should try some stuff of my list ;) minus the blackmetal stuff.
If you're drawn to classical guitar, violin and fluite music try these:

- Arcana ( http://www.erebusodora.net/arcana/ ) (VERY slow music)
- Ataraxia ( http://www.ataraxia.net/ ) ( they use classical guitar allot, though the vocals may be a bit weird to some that aren't used to strange non-mainstream music ;) )
- Excalibur soundtrack ( this has some excellent flute/classical guitar stuff in it)
- Loituma ( finnish folk stuff )
- Zbigniew Preisner ( this guy makes very mystical classicalish music, wrote several movie soundtracks too)

Thanks for the suggestions, Gothic...I'll definately look into them.
