off-icmc discourse

[anechoic <kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found Jerome Joy's comments very interesting and would like to open up
some discourse by posing the following q's:
- what new formats can best act as a platform for presenting live performance?
- how do you avoid creating new "star systems" (paraphrase: "fashionable
carriers of a genre") or is this a natural progression in self organizing
systems? is the formation of a star system helped along by concert
organizers and media?
- is it possible to keep a emergent genre from succumbing to entropy by
maintaining an open system? how would this work?
- is it benefical to either camp to cross-pollinate academic and
non-academic electronic music? if the answer is yes then which one should
become the context? ie: should electronica/glitch/microsound host academic
computer music or should academic computer music host
electronica/glitch/microsound?
- in that light, is maintaining a historical lineage important?
- how could the "off-icmc" event been better organized (conceptually) so as
to stimulate the electronica/glitch/microsound genre?
- what sort of venue would have been more appropriate? are clubs and
galleries the only choice of possible venues to present this new music?
hope these q's are clear...any and all comments welcome...
