But what if the synthesizer just "grew" programs? If you pressed a 'randomize' button which then set any of the several thousand 'blackbox' parameters to various values, and gave you sixteen variations. You listen to each of those, and then press on one or two of them - your favourite choices. Immediately the machine generates 16 more variations based on the 'parents' you've selected. You choose again. And so on.
There would also be some simple controlls - for instance `constrain mutation' - so that when you are getting close to a area you like you can focus more finely. And there would be a few typical synth controlls - ways of substracting individual elements from the mix; ways of applieing overall filters and treatments.


Guess who wrote this and when?

Brian Eno, I think it is in his book "A year with swollen appendices" but I'm not sure of the exact page.
That would make it some time in 1995.

BINGO, and page 190, respectively (very nice book, that).

I'm going to stay away from attaching conclusions to this but it did strike me as a rather remarkable passage...
