Re: [microsound] Dust to Dust

[Glenn Bach <gbach@xxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,

You should definitely submit this--it sounds great.  My contribution 
will be along the same lines, and similar to the Feldman compression I 
did for the previous pulse project, although I'm searching for a pop 
music album that is as close to 70 minutes as possible (I've been 
working with Bob Marley, for some reason).

Ditto RE: your thoughts on the micro/macro, fractal seed, seven-second 
sound bite, etc.  Very well said.

Thanks for sharing this with the list.

Best,

G.
