Re: [microsound] miles of styles of philosophes

[Xdugef <info@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you really responding to my post?

It was a serious question that was not asked out of anger (despite any
of my not so recent posts). Since this is the ".microsound list" I
thought it would be more relevant to the list to talk about how a
philosophy.. any philosophy actually applies to a style or how one
structures their music. 

Is that wrong of me to ask??? What is an example of a  "microsound
issue"? I really want to know.

Or maybe I'm missing the obvious.. take a recording of protesters, chop
it up into indecipherable bits and call it ode to Marx?

But to address some of issues you bring up... if consumerism is an
issue then I suppose it is an unavoidable fact that if you use current
technology and upgrade and add to your arsenal new gear on a regular
basis then you might be considered a supporter of consumerism and
therefore capitalism.

Solution.. buy old/used equipment, use open source software and give
your music away... move off the grid.. ferment soy beeans.. I dunno.

Personally as much as I can I use "recycled" gear but I have money so I
buy new shit too.. but I also giveaway alot of music as well.

Is it an issue for anybody that Apple sells computers to the DOD?
