occurance...if we can just spark the conversation  (even if it's between 
microsound members) there really is no way to gauge were that conversation will 
go...i am from puerto rico and many of the topics in microsound have been

the ideals or ideas have traveled from source to an unknown variable of 
people..unknownly affecting an x amount of minds....and that's just discussing 
sound..
