Re: [microsound] Dust to Dust

["tobias c. van Veen" <tobias@xxxxxxxxx>]

hey everyone,


Of note, Jeremy Turner did this a few years ago for a series of 'sound
objekts.' If you are in Canada, grab a copy of the Summer issue of
MusicWorks -- I jotted a critical & conceptual review in there of his
project. The tracks are available online at:

http://www.dont-miss.net/

... click on the 'before' button, then scroll with the other button to
'jeremy owen turner.' Make sure to check out the 'theory'.

Bingo.

Gotta love Flash & the inability to direct link.

best,

tobias
