Re: [microsound] data -> sound examples

[Phil Thomson <philthom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's the databenders group, of course.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/databenders/

There's someone I know who is doing an alternative kind of network 
auralization; I will ask him to send out a statement or similar if he has 
one.

I've done some stuff with data -> sound. Check out, for example, acoasma 
at my webpage:

There was other stuff I was going to mention. I will re-post if I remember 
it.
