about 6 years ago i was driving home late one night as a composition student thinking about what i could do for the next great piece. i came up with the idea of having a symphonic-esque piece composed entirely of grunts, gutteral whoops, shrieks and the like - ghastly noise but texturally (not tonally) like beethoven. this evolved over the next few days to include words as well, and i wanted to keep them as random as possible. when you think about it, the words would never be random - they would have to be thought out somewhere - some sort of mental spillage. this kind of automatic writing is something i need to get back into, as i used to do it in high school.
