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

[junior@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I agree with the notion that a project name gives a focus to the music
rather than the personality of the performer, but I think one should just
do what feels right.

I've already run into problems with the Archive moniker, which I use for
composed works while keeping my real name for installations, field
recordings, etc-- it's been the subject of some confusion recently.
Despite a very specific press kit, a weekly paper recently ran a full-page
article about my new Archive cd, but wrote about it as if I'd released it
under my own name, and the same thing happened with a radio feature a
couple of weeks later (no mention of the word "Archive" in either piece).
I guess another thing to keep in mind is that often one doesn't have the
control over one's nomenclature anyway... press is press though. I imagine
the word "archive" might be confusing for people.
