Re: [microsound] about samples

[pizo meyer <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

speaking of field recordings...I would just die to get my hands on a portable
DAT. Anybody know whats going on with those things. Wil they be around much longer, are they still expensive? Am I better off with a Mini-disk recorder and a mic?

oh, copying ideas is totally different. that's pepsi land! horrible and 
tedious.

when it comes to sounds, though, people will use field recordings in an 
attempt to 'privatise' naturally (i use the term loosely here) existing 
sounds; it's a very complex value system that differentiates one sound from 
another. anyway, think about the 'amen' breakbeat -- is there anything in 
the world like it? sorry, i just love the shit out of jungle. :-)

have a good week/end!
