klanghausen | if you're track wasn't included

[Eloy Anzola <eloy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

If you've submitted a track that does not appear on the
klanghausen page:

Before contacting me, please check that your mp3 file is
within the guidelines: Tracks should be under 5 min and
128kpbs.

Simply re-upload a corrected file to the hotline server and
let me know, your file will be quickly added to the page.

... of course, if the file was already ok -- it is possible
I made a mistake -- just let me know and we'll add it.

much thanks,

Eloy

> Klanghausen - a microsound project
> ==========================
>
> I was talking with some other microsounders during the 'Microsound' 
> chapter
> 2 book club meeting last Sunday. While leafing through the book to 
> answer a
> question my eye fell on the diagram for Stockhausen's piece 
> "Kontakte." In
> the diagram an impulse generator is fed to filter-banks, waveshaping
> transfer functions (pre-amps), reverbs and tape feedback but given the
> arsenal of plug-ins available on the web an impulse soundfile can be 
> fed
> through a wide range of processors. The impulse schema struck me as 
> very
> elegant and could form the basis of a microsound project.
>
> so, in the spirit of providing the list with a summer project as well 
> as
> paying homage to Herr Stockhausen (who we all owe a great deal to) I 
> offer
> this invitation:
> - use the Impulse.aiff soundfile in the 'Klanghausen' project folder
> (download from the microsound server) or make your own impulse sound 
> file in
> Peak, Cool Edit, PD or Max/MSP. First build a library of sounds 
> created by
> sending your impulse through various types of plugins. Then create a 
> new
> piece using this library.

> [feel free to mangle the samples you create with the impulse soundfile]

> some general guidelines:
>
> - only one piece per member
>
> - the piece should be no longer than 5 minutes
>
> - upload finished work to the microsound hotline server for others to

> again, this invite is to microsound list members ONLY

> *get the impulse.aiff file here-> path:

>
> *put your piece here -> path: "Uploads/Klanghausen/myFolder"
> - remember to name your folder something unique and not 'myFolder'
> - oh yeah, please make your folder a 'drop box' by naming it like this:
> 'myFolderName drop box'
> and NOT 'myFolderName dropbox' or myFolderName drop-box'
> spaces are ok when making a 'drop box and ONLY when making a 'drop box'
> folder...
>
> the deadline for submissions (submission means posting to the list 
> that you

> 2003
>
> some technical guidelines:
> - post only 128kbps/44.1kHz/stereo .mp3 files
> - first make a folder within the "Uploads/Klanghausen" folder and

> - post to the list that you have uploaded your piece (include the name

> the piece)
>
> please do the following when putting files on the server:
> - use filetype suffixes in your filenames...such as "mynewpiece.mp3"
> - do not use spaces or non-alphanumerics chars in filenames
> - the use of underscores_in_filenames_are_ok
> - example of bad filename: "#my, #new, #piece!.mp3"
> - example of good filename: "myNewPiece_mynamehere.mp3"
