Re: [microsound] Music and architecture

[Dale Lloyd <dkl37@xxxxxxxx>]

Jeroen, 								Indeed. The Janek Schaefer release sounds very
interesting. I think there is a little written about the
acousmatic/acoustic ecology distinction in Lopez's La Selva release, as
well. I know other sound artists have used room acoustics within
installation spaces as part or sum-total of their piece. Examples: M.
Sato/T.Tsunoda, S. Roden, one or more pieces on the V2 Archief comp "Just
About Now." Thanks for the festival report and Schaefer info. Dale
