Re: [microsound] Re: summer book lists?



My composition teacher told me about the experience of playing the 
surrealist game of "Exquisite Corpses" with several of his friends in his 
student days. One would take a sheet of music paper and write a line of 
music plus a note, fold it over, and pass it to the next person who would 
proceed from the last note of the person before them.

I guess you could do this with computer music too. One person could write 
a line of zeroes and ones on a sheet of paper and pass it to the next 
person. The last person could unfold the sheet and type it into a hex 
editor and put a soundfile header on it and burn it to CD. Just a thought.
