Yes, I've heard that Mozart was a great improviser as well as a composer, so maybe he was using your method ;-) Myself, I'm not only in love with the resulting sound of the music but also with the thrill, the excitement, the process and the power in the "wide open present" when you stick to improvisation. Regarding 999 loops of the Repeater, I'll correct the typo. Thanks for telling! Regarding <em>composition vs improvisation</em> one reason to keep them apart might be when the composer writes into his score instructions for he players to improvise along along certain given rules. I was talking to Elliott Sharp at <a href="http://www.stockholmnewmusic.se/default2.asp" target="_blank rel="nofollow"> Stockholm New Music</a> and he showed me his score where each one of the four bass clarinet players at a certain part of the composition has to chose one out of many optional parts and loop that note sequence in their playing. What Sharp has done in that score is in fact to build an <a href="http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/stylusrmx.html" target="_blank rel="nofollow">RMX Chaos</a> random function into a live ensemble! @jayrope,
