Re: [microsound] anyone up for a .microsound project?

Can't it be both?

As representations of 'pure' phenomena - and not ones we could ever 
directly hear, it's worth noting - the files' limited bandwidth and 
dynamic range can be understood as inhibiting.

As representations of an (imperfect) reconstruction of some phenomena, 
we hear the results of, e.g., technical ambiguity (in the construction 
of a sound from sensor data) and of choices (made about *how* to sonify,
how much to clean up, the resolution at which to publish online etc.).

For me, it's the messy ambiguity that I find 'meaningful character' in...
