Re: [microsound] [ot] the 56k challenge
I think the reason most people focused on that is because that's what
was explicitly asked for:
From the original email proposal:
"i have an idea for a microsound project . lets all compose a work that
is over one minute and is no more than 56k in size [wav or mp3]"

Exactly. If the central tenets of the challenge are (a) 56k (b) sound,
then mp3 is probably the the least interesting ways of going about
this. It seems to me there are any number of ways a sound (a sonic
experience?) could be transmitted in a 56k file... I don't think the
way to start is thinking in terms of off-the-shelf data compression
like mp3. Software is one way to approach the problem, but I think
there is a lot of territory here that is left being unexplored.

Certainly.
I found it kind of interesting that most people on this list who
responded immediately focused on mp3s and reducing their size. As if
the only way to do it is to externally source a larger linear audio
file you captured and compress it as much as possible
