Dada-ism and the cut up technique...

I have decided to go ahead with the idea of cut up poems and changing the letters of the key board. The cut up technique and fold in technique are writing styles that aim to break the linearity of writing and make it more random.

During the 70's David Bowie used the cut up technique this later came to influence Curt Cobain in his song writing.

I have been looking at tutorials to turn the key board into more than just a tool for writing linear text...

The problem I am solving is a human one not a technical issue. It is an application that will aid creative thought and randomise words to create a song, poem, or piece of music. It gives the user a chance to make different pieces of music each time.

The experience will be hopefully different from everyone as they will type different things that will in turn be connected with several words or sentences as well as music. It could be added to by a lot of people therefore a piece of generative art.
