FontanaMixer is a generative sound environment based on John Cage's composition "Fontana Mix" (1958). The original concept of the piece uses a graphical random generator that is supplied with the score.

This new computerized version, however, uses realtime sound generation and produces completely unforeseeable sonic results which are reflecting Cage's ideas of indeterminacy, chance, and silence.
