Synthesizer Scores
	The Computer Science Club here recently had a man from University
of Toronto who gave a live performance of three selections with a computer
assisted system.  The scores were canned, and sections of them could be
selected in whatever tonal color was desired.  Many could be active
simultaneously.  I seem to have thrown away the handbill with the gentleman's
name on it, but perhaps someone at utzoo or utcs can give a pointer to
the group that is doing this stuff.
	The works were rather repititious, but interesting variations could
be presented quite nicely.

	Of more interest was a recently hacked together device which worked
by touch, and could produce signals which resulted in three dimensional
output (pitch, loudness and something else).  It had effective xyz axes
where one of them was activated by sensing the pressure increase on the
surface.
