Re: [microsound] [ot] the 56k challenge

[Scott Carver <fscthaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
