RE: [microsound] RE: summertime project?

[COSTELLOE Richard <Richard.COSTELLOE@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, thread-starter here... I've been, er, researching summer in Spain
for the past week so just catching up with the discussions now... didn't
mean 
to leave it hanging. 

I like Nick's idea of collecting sounds independently for a period,
sharing them, then using them for our compositions. (That's how I
understand it anyway) - in a more collaborative vein we could also
upload our summer tracks first, then remix each's others up, though this
could be messy ; ) 

There was mention of using synthetic sounds rather than/in combination
with 
ambient samples. It seems perfectly legitimate to gather sounds from any
source that we feel represents or reflects the essence of "summer." 

So, as Simon suggests, a few of us could mesh out some details then
officially present the project to the group. I haven't read what is up
with the hotline discussion (the client never worked for me) - but I'm
know we can find server space as needed.

Hope I didn't overlook any good ideas!!

Hi Nick and all,

I have been working on a piece called 'memory of summer' - what
interests me is creating a track based around summer only from memory
(as someone suggested before). I will also work on a piece more locally
based in Australia's winter...

I really like the ideas that this project has brought up and it would be
great to have it coordinated. Perhaps you and I could nut out some
project guidelines and get people to post their tracks on the hotline
server/twiki? Email me with suggestions..

Who actually did start this thread?? :)

Simon.
