Xenakis's PithopraktaFrom the recent book Subtract:"We asked people to change random loops of musical notes. They were about three times more likely to add notes then to take them away. It was roughly the same 3 to 1 ratio when we tasked people with improving a piece of writing. We asked participants to transform a five-ingredient soup. 2 out of 90 participants subtracted ingredients."  (p. 27)It
