Re: [microsound] noise to signal (subjective...)

Hi Scott,

I noticed your e-mail address.
Are you here in Seattle?
I think I would be more interested in making time to have discussions and
listening sessions in person more than online.
This because I already spend way too much time on the
computer (in seclusion) and it would be nice to actually interact with
people 
who listen to, or are somehow involved with this kind of music, which is 
the real rarity these days I believe, even in a supposedly "progressive"
town such as this one. It seems that artists in Europe have more of a
tendency to "hang out" and talk for hours about various things of
interest, 
whereas here in the US, we do far less of this. Maybe we're *too busy
being busy*
to slow down more often than we do. But I for one, don't meet people in
this city very often that listen to the kind of sound work I listen to,
distribute, 
and release on and/oar, so I end up back on the computer talking to
artists
and other labels (offlist). 

Just a sidenote, due to working with Alluvial Recordings on a joint
release
effort, I've had some great conversations with Kevin Wienke in this
regard.
I think we've both been a bit starved for knowledgable conversation about
experimental/electronic sound work, so we tend to go on for hours on the 
phone (long distance)... but it's worth every minute of it. I'm always
amazed
at the stories people have that would have otherwise never come up in
an e-mail. Like when Kevin was in Italy hanging out with Giancarlo
Toniutti
and then Paolo & Laura (of Logoplasm and S'agita Recordings). Then
we would discuss the sound work which John Hudak or Yannick Dauby
have been doing for the last few years... ;-)   Good times.

Best, Dale
