Re: [microsound] field recording redux/ invisible cities

["wesley m" <in16bit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello,
Toshiya Tsunoda has been very inspirational for me lately with his releases 
on Intrasitive and Lucky Kitchen. they are quite conceptually orientated, 
with descriptive titles and notes, but very engaging and rewarding. i would 
reccommend anyone remotely interested in field recording and/or microsound 
sensibilities check his stuff out.
also, i agree with you whole-heartedly re: Invisible Cities, the whole 
project seems to have been a great success and has proved very interesting 
listening/reading, well done Chris and all @ fallt!
best,
wes

ps:i do field recordings too!   :)
