[microsound] i felt that the sonic transformation was much more powerful than the visual transformation

[Bill Jarboe <billjarboe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends, microsounders , post-digital ascetics, etc.

  There was a question recently about converting text files to audio.

   I happened to make a soundfile from a list message.

   Honestly I don't know how much the message text is responsible for the
structure of the audio , or if that really matters. The result may be found
here in mp3:

(576 k)

             or , if you're close to a mac and would like the uncompressed
audio:

not exctly canadian nor winter, but some years ago Christo wrapped the Pont
Neuf in Paris.

i'm not a great fan, but walking accross the bridge (it was early summer i
think) the sound of the footsteps and to some degree the voices was
significantly dampened. a bit like walking in a snowy environment.

i felt that the sonic transformation was much more powerful than the visual
transformation.
