Thanks, looks like a fun synth, from what I can tell from the video.

I don't know Xenakis (altough heard the name), know a little of Merzbow
and like the noise of Maurizio Bianchi quite a lot, but not too
often ;)

I have no knowledge in build systems or packaging, but the move appears
to be away from autotools and to scons and similar system.

I look forward to trying your synth
