+        Freewheeling allows us to build repetitive grooves
+        by sampling and directing loops from within spirited improvisation.
+
+        It works because, down to the core, it's built around
+        improv. We leave mice and menus, and dive into our own process
+        of making sound.
+
+        Freewheeling runs under Mac OS X and Linux, and is open source
+        software, released under the GNU GPL license.
