It's a simple idea, after enthusing the crowd at BACON with the 
Text-to-music concept, a chance to try it out, en masse, and see
what happens.

So, to join in you need:

* to be at BACON
* a Linux or Mac laptop
* a clone of the repo at www.github.com/ajfaraday/Text-to-music
* read the readme, set it up
