Re: [microsound] minimal release formats

[banyek <soutiengorge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

my idea: make each copy numbered and add some individual
stuff to every release.. what if you put out a gallery for
one release and you give one exclusive photo to every
release? it is an idea which has been floating in my mind
and i hope i can make it real once. :) the cd cover should
be minimal.. the white + non-coloured gives you silver or
gold letters which are really cool i think.

i hope i didn't dissapoint you.
