Hello.  I just discovered this list and have been listening to some sound=

pieces at the microsound.org website. Pretty interesting.

I do radio astronomy with an emphasis on audio recording. Check out =

specimens on  my webpage at      www.heliotown.com

None of the specimens there are artificial....just straight recordings.  =
I
am now going to explore other recording technologies however because ther=
e
are subtleties and  "microsounds" that I can hear in my recordings that I=

want to "tease out" so to speak from the raw recordings. =

Also..."unpacking" dense jovian emissions is a goal.  Jupiter can burst i=
n
dense clusters of short bursts and I want to "hear" and study this sort o=
f
thing with greater clarity.

For example : I want to explore aspects like synchrotron radiation
phenomena spatially in multiple frequencies so as to get a spatial depth =
of
field. =

Then the next step is to translate the experience via the internet for
common 2 eared humans like myself.   Reduction from raw recordings to low=
er
resolution smaller sized files has been an obstruction..........Also, I a=
m
just beginning to learn about .mp3 compressions and such.

Anyway, enough for the moment.
