Re: [microsound] IJ and microsound projects in general



Sounds like a fun idea.

However,the microsound projects I've participated in the past have shown that it isn't necessarily so in practice. For example with microspace, everybody just did their piece in total isolation, with zero interaction or exchange of ideas - not to mention commenting others' works - on the list. People's interest seemed to vanish the moment they uploaded their piece - there was no discussion, nothing.

So if the microsound projects only offer a theme to work on and a server to upload the piece, without any communal aspect - I really can't see the point.


Best,

I have been thinking about a project for some years now
in the book Infinite Jest is a lengthy footnote containing a filmography for the protagonist Hal Incandenza
http://home.i1.net/~bytor/incadenza.html
I also have a pdf I can put up on the server if people need it

I've always thought that making these fictional films into real ones would make for a great project but after DFW's death I thought that it might make for a nice microsound project
to create soundtracks to these films
as a way to honor his life and work

so here is a proposal:
- take one of Hal Incandenza's films
and create a soundtrack to it

if people are seriously interested in this project
then please post to the list
and I'll take a head-count

if we get more than 10 people then we go with the project
if not, it will be another good project for my studio in the future
