Re: [microsound] one copy label

[steinbrüchel <steinbruchel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

in my opinion it's not a very exciting object... dj's produce dubplates
every day. i also really seriously doubt that the composer will destroy the
masters. how can one control that he really does this?

why would it make sense to have this also in any other format (cd, dvd,
digital, mp3, usb stick... whatever)? in all these medias it's completely
impossible to control the amounts of copies made.

if one finds such a project interesting, then i think vinyl is the only way
to go... besides i also doubt that robert hampson will perform the piece
only once. antti rannisto will do one of the next records and he's looking
for several gigs in and around europe:

so, does that contradict the original idea? and after all isn't every
«improvised» concert only performed once?

just because it's conceptual, it doesn't mean it has to make any sense (or
be any good)...
