Re: [microsound] music from Iraq?

[Björn Eriksson <nowerik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Found some info on iraqic artists thru the Aliraq message board.

There is RealAudio pieces to listen at
http://www.iraqchat.com/irqsongs.htm  (also check the .mid files at bottom)
and lot's of other arabian popular music for download at
http://www.salmiya.net/
also see
http://www.maqam.com/
there they have a section called "House/Dance/Techno" with short excerpts to
d/l.

No electronic avantgarde that I found at above links - but very many tracks
have electronic instruments/treatening.

Yours,
Björn Eriksson
