When the Music's Over

Using the "cut-up" composition method popularized by William S. Burroughs, two blocks of text were run through a virtual cut-up machine. The result: a randomly scrambled, collaged, "found" text mirroring chaos theory and yielding new meanings.

The two texts used here and merged were:
1) a scientific article on how music relieves stress--
2) a news report about Senator Orrin Hatch's advocacy of developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who download and file-share music--
