The future of music?
				Brian Whitman and Tristan Jehan
 ... two MIT media-lab alums that have done interesting work using 
automatic music analysis to inform and control music synthesis, have 
teamed up to form a company called The Echo Nest.
  They are currently in stealth mode, but Brian's home page calls it the
 "largest eigenvalue problem in Davis Square.", which is saying quite a 
bit, given the size of eigens typically seen roaming the square 
(especially at night).  - Thanks to Graham
