I would personally be quite happy with a CD-r, with some very artistic,
unique, or thoughtful packaging. Honestly in these days, a lot of people
have their CD's burned to hard drive, i-pod, or else have just the discs
in those 128-disc notebooks, so often the packaging just sits in a corner
somewhere anyway.
I personally think it would be cool to include something in the packaging
like a small piece of artwork, perhaps 1 or 2 small pieces that would fit
on my fridge or desk for example.
This work sounds wonderful by the way, I'd love to pick up a copy when
it's released.

I have a work by one of the audiobulb artists. It is very simple and
very
beautiful. Constructed from sparse guitar notes, spaces, paino notes,
the
sounds of his everyday routine (washing hands, cleaning teeth). The
whole
album consists of tracks using one sound at a time - no layering -
following
strict mathematical sequences that relate to the artist's internal
structure.
note - note - note - silence - tap runinning - different note etc....
The work is minimal, artistic, concrete and msucial in places - but the
song
structures are far from conventional - but they are emotional (to me at
least).
How to release such a work is the question? I wonder about demand &
format.
How are cd-r's (in beautiful packaging) received by the consumer?
Alternatively we could press the minimum 500 CDs.... but I worry about
demand.... How to promote such a work. I know it has been done
before....
but I would appreciate guidance and opinions......
