Well, I didn't really meet him personally, though I could have.  I was
under too much time pressure and still am under the gun: Defense May
19th, D-day (dissertation), June 1st. 200 pages of mostly equations
and counting.

But I was thinking that you should have been there.  Eno talked about
interactive music, where instead of releasing unchangeable copies of
his music, he wanted to release "Eno" parameters to some composing
machine that would write his style of music and play it in real time.
Then he would automatically be co-composer and get royalties, etc, he
joked.  The hard part was to train a machine to produce his kind of
style.  Etc.  He mentioned Neural Nets, etc.
