Re: [microsound] unintentional sound

[Bill Jarboe <billjarboe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi isjtar,

   another guy who used to show up on this list quite alot and who i've 
worked with a little is john hudak .http://www.johnhudak.net

   i mention him because he does alot with sounds which might not 
normally be considered music yet have a musical quality. he also 
explores the frontiers between intention and lack of intention 
(something different from what might be considered intention ?). he did 
an installation once where trees made video which was converted to 
sound or something like that though i have a wild imagination 
sometimes; maybe that was just what i was hoping .

  i shouldn't worry too much about whether such approaches have been 
explored too much. since the form and results have much reference to 
"where you live" , how you imagine yourself fitting in to the world , 
your own tastes and how much you like to include , exclude. similar to 
the way almost anyone who reads this could purchase , make or have 
access to a guitar or a piano; there are so many ways to approach it 
that shouldn't be a deterrent.

  it is a good idea to do the research ; even if you have a strong idea 
already. that way you don't end up aping someone's work without 
realizing it or use someone's title , etc..


                                                                  g.l.
