[microsound] Theoretical Resources for Microsounders

[Phil Thomson <hellomynameisphil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I added a provisional thing to the "Texts" portion of the microsound
wiki with a list of some authors whose theoretical work might be
useful for theoretically-inclined microsounders:

http://www.interdisciplina.org/microsound-wiki/index.php/Texts

Anyone want to add to this? Remarks on Gramsci, Attali and Adorno
could be helpful. Anyone want to put something up about, e.g.,
Friedrich Kittler? (sp?)

I'm thinking that the blurb should briefly summarize the author's work
(or the text, or whatever) and its relevance to microsound.

I may put up something about Terre Thaemlitz later. (S)he had a great
article in _Organised Sound_ a few years back. Charlie Gere's book
_Digital Culture_ might be added later as well.

I don't think it would be bad for people to write about their own
work, since we have a few theorists here, unless they've been scared
off. Trace Reddell? Glenn Bach? Tobias?

Perhaps anyone wanting to suggest future books for the book club could
put them here if there's not already a place for them.

Just a crazy thought.
