Re: [microsound] critical



epiphany! yes, most of the micro has the same impact as the minimal visual art of the '70's. Kind of a 'one liner...', with no punch line. There is a cleverness in the process, but in the end much seems to be design oriented and not content oriented. There is a great difference between a slick logo and a painting by Miro.

Alas, there are gems...rare...

A few years ago I found even my favourite ambient titles were boring me and was excited when the
micro-movement came into full-swing. Vladislav Delay and other similar artists seemed so perfect
to fill the void. However, whereas ambient had a healthy long stay with the likes of O Yuki, Roach
etc... getting frequent play for years, the micro music seems to have a much shorter shelf-life. I
played the live Delay the other night and took it of after a few minutes. In fact, many of the
100's of micro CDs I bought now sit collecting dust. Maybe it's just me. Thing is, I play much of
the sacred, ethnic music I have collected over the years and love it. It looks as though I am not
alone, which, in some strange way, is comforting.
