Our Friend Chris agrees with you about the musical possibilities for hypertext. I also agree. I'm happy to hear that you're interested in the musical applications for such an idea, because I think it would be interesting to set a soundtrack behind a text like this, where the mood of the music is influenced by the mood of the text. You might listen to a symphony, classical or romantic, in terms of "words that yield". There are certain musical phrases that prepare the ears for a new part of the music, and centuries of musical structure have already discovered these structural methods for us. Improvisation was one way for modernism to rebel from the conventions of the printed page, and their influence over performed music, but perhaps it is posible, now, to have our written music and an organic structure, all at once.

Dylan, congrats on the completion of your literary work - fingers crossed on your submission :)
