Hi, I’m developing an interesting project and need help with a place to  
host it.  
Basically it’s a chat where you are given an instrument and your text  
becomes music.  
You can check a demo of the algorithm behind here.

[http://www.franciscotufro.com.ar/2009/09/06/algorithmic-composition-using-an-extension-of-guido-darezzos-method/](http://www.franciscotufro.com.ar/2009/09/06/algorithmic-composition-using-an-extension-of-guido-darezzos-method/)

Right now the rails frontend chat app is hosted on heroku, but to  
generate sounds i use a streaming server (icecast2), jackd, fluidsynth  
and edcast\_jack, along with my ruby script that polls the frontend  
server to check for messages.  
This script is using a gem i’m developing called fcomposer, a wannabe  
library for music composition.  
The problem is that all that backend configuration is not available on  
simple hosting plans, and i have no resources to buy a vps or  
dedicated server, right now i use my laptop when someone want’s to  
check it, but it would be great to make the site available all day.

Anyone interested in helping?  
Thanks a lot.
