Prog. notes: This piece tries to use the computers to perform music with "human character". After a detail analysis the composer wrote his original program to "teach" the computer to generate and play its musical gestures with expression in terms of articualtions, dynamics, rhythmic interests and tempo. One of the characteristic of this piece is that it is a live computer muisc, not similar to the normal tape music. There will be slightly different in every performance of this music, but the musical form and structure pre-designed by the composer will remain the same.
