Re: [microsound] New Orleans?

Its interesting that you mention that because just before reading this
email I was thinking about how to approach a 9/11 themed project. It is
quite the challenge to see how you can tailor a work around an event
without making it too obvious and keeping the histrionics at bay.

I think anything done on the victims' behalf is a step in the right
direction.

Are there any specific ideas?

p.s. I love the "Usa/Usb" title. I wish I had come up with that...
