Re: [microsound] (OT) sampling

[Joe Young <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently recorded the basics of my MA research project by surreptitiously
leaving my mini disc recorder lying around at a family gathering in various
corners of the house. The level of background noise is of course very high,
but I've found that the  recorded soundscape - the rising and falling of
sound  waves along with single voices leaping above the sonic babble, is in
itself, a very interesting (and challenging) starting point for a
composition project.
