Re: [microsound] project names vs real names...

[David Newman <dwnewman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would choose a project name.... some thing well thought out - that 
reflects you and the music  -  a made up word will do - a combination of 
words.....

It means that if you choose direction in the future - or want to explore a 
different style all together your project name can change and you present 
your listener's with a clearer label about where you are coming from....

some people do go with their name.... and it works for some - it would never 
work for me - because i share my name with the famous film composer David 
Newman

Kim Cascone writes under his name though and it seems to flow for him.....

"name project" is a quite good name in itself............... :)
