Re: [microsound] novels with sound

[chris mcnamara <mcnafong@xxxxxxxx>]

There is a fantastic short story by John Cheever called "The Enormous 
Radio". It's about a couple who live in an apartment and their new 
radio begins to broadcast the various dramas unfolding in their 
neighbouring apartments. The descriptions of how the sounds mingle with 
music really anticipate sampling and noise composition.
