Re: [microsound] What a press kit should contain

[Super Coffee Beans <moog@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

free jazz and glitch for me are very different one from each other.
since i feel the free jazz is something of a convention which have free
frame. the glitch music for me is a non-convention  but with a solid frame.
as allways things are not so easy, and i guess that glitch and free jazz has
alot of stuff in common.
but when we compare this 2 kinds of music we music remeber this: i am too
young to know the free jazz movment in the time it was a live fresh and
kicking. when cheking jazz we have lets say historical context.
when cheking glitch we cannot achive that.
