[microsound] re: madrid ?

[Yannick <yannick.dauby@xxxxxxx>]

hi microsound list,

i have a small problem with that madrid-related project...
so i would like to share my doubts.

***please consider this post as a very small contribution to the 
discussion, and not as a pose, an agressive provocation, some personal 
attacks or something like that...***

as i consider myself against violence, i am wondering if i want to 
participate.
i believe that most of the audience of the microsound list project is 
the list participants (and that is absolutly not a problem for me). so 
what kind of effect will this memorial project could have about "no more 
bomb" hopes ?
i don't think that terrorists / military maniacs read our posts and 
listen to our music...
i don't believe in peace related hymn/anthem but much more on 
discussion/construction of peace.

if we just produce our usual soundwork, are we just showing our 
compassion with victims and their family (like we have shown our 
interest into stockhausen, lisa glitches and tarkovski music) ? but 
who's looking at our compassion except ourselves ?
maybe it is not enough just to express emotions (tv is stronger than 
microsounds).
just a small example about what i mean : during the start of gulf war, 
there was huge number of people against it. but spanish government 
didn't listen to them, aznar just made it...
if a government don't care about some many individuals, who cares about 
sound artists ???

shouldn't we provoque some reflexion about the needs of violence (rudy, 
could you develop your ideas about war ? i am not sure to clearly 
understand them) or maybe how could we handle non-violence at the 
different scales (personnaly, i prefer this one...).

one humble suggestion, could we try to speak about our practices, which 
are supposed to show some other ways of thinking, participating and 
evolving.
could these creation behaviours, artistic collaborations, and social 
interrelations be a kind of model for citizen participation ? how ?

and finally could we produces projects that are related to these topics ?

friendly,

yannick.

ps : i am not english fluent writing, so i hope there won't have some 
non-sense emerging...
