Re: [microsound] correspondence between hand-made electronics and Pd/Max/MSP (was Socio/political implications of microsound music?)

[Bill Jarboe <billjarboe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

  I have un idea for a microsound project!

  I was recently enthralled by a largish reverb tank found at  
http://www.tank-fx.de/ . I uploaded a flac (soundfile) and was rewarded 
with another flac (reverberated soundfile).

  It could be very good to upload soundfiles using the same method as 
that found at  http://www.tank-fx.de/  to various destinations in the 
world. A sound might arrive at someone's studio , a retail business , a 
university electronic music department , a frozen arctic lake , a 
brothel , an opium den and then rerecord in combination with whatever 
was happening there. It might be cool if the soundfile could politely 
announce itself visually.

  Do any of you know how to implement this type of automatic exchange 
using software? Is it being done already? Do you know where?

  Thanks


-bill
