[microsound] SoundscapeFM update

[derek holzer <derek@xxxxxxx>]

If you haven't checked SoundscapeFM out yet, now is the time to do it!
The radio brodcast and webstream will only be up until August 14! Of
course, the website and sound archive will be up for a lot longer, and
we hope to do more live broadcasts and projects with the site and archive:

http://www.soundscape-fm.net/

The turnout for the SoundscapeFM project was more than just a little
impressive. In about a week, over 170 field recordings from 46 different
artists were uploaded, mixed, broadcast and streamed! From our tiny
little half-watt transmitter, we were actually able to cover a good
section of the [admittedly small] city of Stralsund. Just about every
day during that week, I had requests for logins by people who had heard
about the project and wanted to contribute. The website is crammed full
of sounds from just about every corner of the world, and a simple browse
through these sounds will show a huge array of styles and approaches to
the art of phonography.

We will be travelling in the Baltics starting tomorrow, so I can't
guarentee that any new requests for users to upload sounds will get
taken care of, but you are welcome to try.

Most of all, I'd like to give a big shout-out to the artists who
contributed their amazing work to the broadcast. You all make it happen!

Best wishes,
Derek Holzer and Sara Kolster
