	Story Behind the Song Evil Monkey looked up from his eternal typing and said, "I'm tired of Craig and his exquisite moments of control and precious minimal preludes." Ink Monkey raised his head in reply and said, "yes, it's time for -- a *Festival of Misrule*. Quick, Craig has just gone out for a walk. We have no time to lose!" And with that Evil Monkey whistled loudly into the trees and called in a Giant Grasshopper. He harnessed it and began to ride around the room, causing it to defecate on the open scores of Stravinsky, Messiaen and early Cage. Meanwhile Ink Monkey had sketched a pentagram onto the floor and called out a loud incantation: "Sonata for a Day, oh Shades of Bartok and impossible piano fingering! Oh freie satz line, we invert you. You will be pitchforked at the wrong octaves! And you, warped birds who were never born, I call you into my Catalogue." With a huge explosion from the sputtering candles, Evil Monkey pressed the Space Bar on the algorithmic track generation software, cackling, "eh voila! le silence des ESPACES infinis!"
