Re: [microsound] webmixing...great fun



My friend Matt Chiabotti has been doing some stellar webmixes for 
some time
now under the project name of em.chia. I'm not sure if any of his 
mixes are
up online (from which, of course, you could do a mix of a mix of a 
mix ...),
but check out http://www.typodegradable.com to look and see.
