RE: [microsound] microsound vs. DJ culture

[Filipe Galante <filipegalante@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Microsound is already part of the dj culture as well.
Althoug it starts a more intelectualized music, dj culture quickly 
reapropriated it and uses it.
The same happens backwards microsound also apropriates technics and ideas 
from dj culture.
So I see no need for a defenition or saeparation bvetween the two of them.
Dj culture is infected by stckahausen, Varese, and this ideas also movbe 
thjemselves in microsound.
In this global media network this separation should not exist - it bring us 
bat to the debate of high art vs popular culture that should no longuer 
exist a long time ago.
