RE: [microsound] pop


or rather he talks about commercial products from the entertainment industry. the corporates dont care if it is britney or cascone. just if they can make a profit. its their job, what they are hired to do.

any "style" might become the next victim of this industry. i dont think that henryk gorecki consider himself a "pop" artist even if his 3rd symphony hit the english charts some years ago.



kim's distinctions cover some good territory... but seem centered around pop
"culture" and not necessarily pop "music".

Something like "Get the Knack" is still pop music... even though currently
no desire is being manufactured around it. It no longer is part of the
dynamic of pop "culture" which I agree is this fleeting moving target. It
still however fits into the "pop music" category, due to it's structure and
the way it was originally marketed.

"Pop" is very contextually dependent.

 we live in  a world of words
 its appropriate to make distinctions

 if no distinctions, just don't bother writing, correct?

 no distinctions, no microsound, no pop, no nothing. well, only nothing i
 supppose, but in the end, no list.
