That was precisely my point, mostly.
Than this Google thingy is a tool, used for an opus, but not a machine
that does compose. This are two completely different approaches.
I also find it deeply beautiful. But Reich didn't
compose it to convey
a state of mind (or heart).
But he did, because he is a being with emotions. He wanted to do it,
because he has a live, experiences, passion and an impetus. A machine
has nothing of those qualities. If you program a machine as a tool,
used by you, it's not the same as programming a machine to do something
on it's own.
