That's a big interest of mine as well, except for the bit about  
working with prerecorded sound files. I have always wanted to  
implement randomness into real-time generated audio rather than  
prerecorded files. This started with hardware in -81 something but so  
far it has not led me into programming my own software. Related to  
this I'm also interested in techniques that allow the musician to  
instantly compose and perform multi layer orchestrated music (or  
maybe "lateral improvisation" would be a better phrasing?).
