Re: [microsound] project invite: 'City of the Future'

[eien <eien@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First post! and my first contribution to a microsound project is 
uploading currently to the COTF folder! Exciting stuff.

I've placed the mp3 and text file in the eien drop box - as seems to be 
regulation.

The files are  tomorrow_city.mp3 and tomorrow_city.txt (added  
tomorrow_city(correct).txt )

My apologies to anyone who has a dog that starts howling when my track 
is played. I'm singing on this one (using the term loosely), another 
first (at least for me).

Thanks!

Andrew

(and it looks like my rtf to txt conversion made a small mess of the 
txt file!
aigh! so.. add tomorrow_city(correct).txt to the file list and live and 
learn!)
