Re: [microsound] fan reaction to laptop

dont know how your music sounds but you need not worry. in general
noise/microsound etc. seem to have the same problem as electroacoustic
music.

i.e. no-one likes to listen to the stuff outside a very small circle of
mostly other composers. a book by tom wolfe comes to mind - "the painted
word" ;=)

personally I no longer think this type of music can hack it alone unless it
has some novelty value. but everything has been done and nothing new has
surfaced in this area since the 60s. it works best as backdrop/complement to
other stuff. you need to combine with words, video, "real music" or
something else.
