Web analytics, web metrics, and how to use them to track and improve conversions

A couple of months ago I read about The LifeHouse Method in Read/WriteWeb - Get Your Own Theme at Method Music post and went on to make my own musical portrait - and then I just did another today - which I think is a lot better.

 "...Method Music is a piece of online software developed by mathematician/composer Lawrence Ball and software developer Dave Snowdon, under the direction of Townshend. Users sit for what they call "musical portraits" in which the software "paints" a music picture based on user input. It may not be as polished as the music Ron Jones and Walter Murphy compose for "Family Guy," but the results the software spits out are surprisingly, well, musical (one of my portraits is at the end of this post)."

"...The service is free until July 31, and allows you to sit for up to 3 portraits. Townshend and a team of composers and musicians will listen in on musical portraits regularly and may pick some for additional development. If that happens, says the website, the chosen user may be invited to help collaborate with Townshend and his team to turn the portrait into a full fledged song. If the song is released commercially, the company intends to share one-third of the earnings with the user who sat for the initial portrait that inspired it."

That reminds me ... I only have a week till the service is no longer free - and I have one musical portrait left to do.  I'm told that Pete Townshend already used the software to create some music of his own:

"..Townshend has actually already used the Method software experimentally in his own music. The track "Fragments" on the most recent Who album "Endless Wire," was initially formed using Method. And an album of music Townshend, Ball, and Snowdon made with the software, "Method Music - Imaginary Sitters, Imaginary Galaxies," is available on iTunes."

I put my own Musical Composition - Webmetricsguru's Composition #2 below.  Honestly, I don't know how good it is or if Pete Townshend would like it or not - but ..... I'm a Web Analyst/Artist - not sure it extends to the music world - probably doesn't ... but using the The LifeHouse Method - probably sounds good enough.
