Disco demands to be "left alone." This site emphasizes Javascript pop-up windows eloquently combined with sound bites which tell the user to "leave it alone."

Potluck is more like a doodle exploring the potential of sound composition on the net. Using Macromedia Director, this website presents a graphic interface as a playful device to manipulate and access sound bits thereby creating simple compositions.
