==Main Idea==

Under construction -- more to follow as I think of it, comments welcome!

I'm intrigued by the idea of doing something with So + PLOrk (and possibly Matmos if it seems to make sense).

Possible features:

* PLOrk stations (of indefinite #?) divided into two groups?
** One group using 'unpitched' samples (selected by the PLOrkers?)
** The other group using pitched samples (selected by the PLOrkers?) or maybe synthesized sounds
** Groups relatively autonomous from each other, but interactive between the groups (interactive via GUI, or just sharp ears?)

* Live sampling of So
** One or both of the PLOrk groups' samples could be obtained from this.
** Is this a pain in the behind logistically?

* As suggested by our discussion in the first week of seminar, Dan's wacky metronome, and some features of Jascha's proposal:
** Flexibility of rhythm.  A slightly hiccup-y, broken metronome to guide the PLOrkers?
** (Semi-)Independence of So from the PLOrk group's metronome?  So more atmospheric, PLOrk more rhythmically active, for example, or vice-versa?

* I'm game for trying a collaborative project if any of this resonates with anyone.

* I imagine trying this in ChucK and doing something with Processing for the interface, but not sure yet.
