i think kerry misunderstands you, you're saying that _kim's_ point was that
"the tool is the message" right?

well, kim said that, that "the tool is the message."

i would disagree, and i think anna would disagree, and you obviously
disagree. so we're all in agreement. and we all disagree with kim.

but i also think that we misunderstand the article. i for one did not get a
real strong argument for the philosophy of microsound, and i doubt if one
could be formed because really each artist is quite unique and dogmatic
statements tend to be false. so i don't know what the point was.

is kim on this list? he's on the microsound list, perhaps we could forward
this discussion there?
