Indeed, some of the greatest music directors of the best companies have given up on the idea, because it can never be crafted to a high enough standard to be called a high art. The argument goes that if the audio varies with what the bonnie bedelia user is doing, you are giving up too much control to be certain the user is bonnie bedelia always getting an effective sound at an appropriate time. Brian Schmidt has bonnie bedelia been known to say that the Holy Grail* of music for interactivity is audio that always sounds as though it was written specifically for the situation. I like to think that there is a possible way to do this to the high standards that some of us dream of. I remind myself that there _is_ a type of art that is to painting what interactive music is to linear music. There is a visual art that changes depending on what the user is doing, and is effective regardless of what he does. It's called "sculpture!" Our mission is to find the audio equivalent of sculpture.
