DESCRIPTION:As you might remember\, the Computer Lab currently has a compo
 ser in residence\, Alejandro Vinao. Alejandro gave the final Wednesday sem
 inar last term\, in which he talked about his work as a sophisticated user
  of the current generation of languages developed for advanced music progr
 amming.\n\nTo follow up some of the questions that arose at the end of tha
 t seminar\, we'd like to spend about 10 minutes asking a couple of specifi
 c questions of the members of your research group. The most convenient way
  to do this might be to take 10 minutes at the start of your regular group
  meeting.\n\nThe research objective of Alejandro's visit to the Lab is to 
 investigate computational processes in his work that are not well-describe
 d by current music programming languages. In fact\, it seems that they are
  not well described by any programming languages\, in that typical languag
 es for process specification tend to be aimed either at industrial control
  or low-level signal processing\, rather than computational processes at t
 he level of abstraction of human perception.\n\nThe reason that we would l
 ike to visit research groups from other specialist fields\, is to find out
  how analogous computation processes are described when they arise in your
  own work\, in order to see whether this provides an improved basis for fo
 rmal description in ours.\n
