Re: [microsound] antifacts?



huh?

lunchboxes and calendars are cultural objects/expressions.
why wouldn't they be?

what they are is relatively simple---in that they are usually
symptomatic--but they are no less expressions for that.
cds and other types of recorded material are denser types of information
that are lunchboxes or calendars, but they are not different in kind.
