SUNVOX DOCUMENTATION FULL
If you make a mistake (I made several!), be prepared to do a full recovery of your Chrome OS - not that hard, but takes about 20 minutes or so each time. In my case I wanted to be able to boot either OS so you have to look for the instructions for Dual-boot and follow them carefully. Also, many installers are looking to completely replace Chrome OS. The instructions on Distroshare, sort of assume you are setting up Linux for the first time and don't make it clear that the process is destructive! It will cause your Chromebook to reset itself.

If you wish to go this route and create a dual-booting Linux, I cannot emphasize enough the need for backups! Chrome OS is very easy to recover, but if you have files on your local machine in your Downloads folder or you have existing crouton setups, you need to back these up before trying to partition and install a full distro. This one did have the desired zoning effect and kept the background noise (lots of that in economy seating) at bay. For the return, I programmed a pad voice, a bass and a lead all using separate MIDI channels in the iM1. On the way home I went to some old favorites using Noatikl, the Korg iM1 and MultiTrack DAW. While the result is a bit "busy", I think it came out ok.

Periodically, I'd use the software to invert, mute and/or mangle each of the voices. I used the very interesting Fugue Machine to put together a sequence of notes played on the Rucker Harpsichord app in 2-3 separate voices in differing tempos. I put together a baroque repeating piece on my way to LA which came out as the following: I used generative music apps to create evolving melodies for each leg of the trip.

Without sufficient studio time to craft lots of harmonies and voices, its software to the rescue. When I want to zone out or relax on cross-country flights, I like to have some ambient or low-key music to keep in the background while I'm semi-conscious. Since moving my music "to the cloud" in Apple Music and running short of storage space on my iPad with all my Synth software, I find that I don't have nearly as much music to listen to on long flights.
