Yes, you may send them to my gmail address (clumma@...), or
better, put them on the web somewhere. FLAC format would be best,
but mp3 and ogg are OK. I'd say 1 per person, to keep quality high
and play time fair. If you want to send 2-3 and let me pick, I'm
happy to do so.

I'd like to know what Prent needs for his broadcast. Individual
files, not a mix, right? Or... I guess I don't know what the mix
is for. But I can make it.

I've hardly ever used FLAC. Do you have a specific set of options (i.e. quality, etc) that you'd like to specify, or ???

That is, if I get anything finished!

The L in FLAC is for "lossless", which means there's only one quality,
the best possible.

Ah, yes, I understand that, but their documentation lists 9 levels of compression. Which is why I asked if Carl had a preference...

You mean write a piece of music, or how to encode it? AFAIK, this is just submit a short piece for a compilation.

More than fair play time, I would push for maximal surface variety in
the mix ("see, microtonal music isn't a style or particular sound"
etc. etc.), and for this reason I would suggest allowing multiple
submissions so long as their processes/instrumentation/soundworlds are
different enough. But if I'm the only one planning to do that...

I don't know what kind of music we are looking for, or how long it
might be, or whether or not it was supposed to be original for this
compilation. I also don't think it makes sense to give us a week to do
it in.

Microtonal?

>... or how long it might be

Use your best judgement, I guess. I'd prefer pieces on the short side, to make it so someone doesn't get stuck in one piece and then give up on the rest.

>... or whether or not it was supposed to be original for this compilation.

I figure that might be best, but if not original, it should sound definitely different in a new guise. It doesn't sound like this is a good place for a subtle use of a temperament for an early keyboard piece, for example.

>I also don't think it makes sense to give us a week to do it in.

Absolutely! Jacob - since we not only don't have "dozens" but fewer than 12 (potential participants), and you are adverting the thing as a massive compilation, how about if you set a new "day", and we can all get our ducks in a row? I think that putting the best possible collection together would be important for this first MMM Day, rather than hitting a deadline (I frankly don't think I'm going to make it, due to work and life issues). If we do more in the future, it will be a better springboard if the first is well-represented and of as high a quality and variety as we can possibly muster.

Just my $.02.

Jon

Too much procrastination on this list (I'm the worst offender).
Gene, why not see what you can do in a week? Might be a good
composition exercise.

Could you mix me up "Bunga Seroja" in Pythagorean,

very short order. Not to worry!

Microtonalists

I plan to assemble a podcast on Saturday and Sunday of 3-5 minute
examples of as many people's music as I can find. In the interest of
diversity and inclusion of as many people as possible, I'll edit the
submitted pieces to 3-5 minutes. I plan to read 3-4 sentences about
each one before it plays, so a podcatcher like me, who listens on a
walk in the dark, can understand what they are about the hear. The
podcast site will have links to every web site I know of. Here's what
I have so far, and I'm open to anything and everything, 3-5 minutes
with a 3-4 sentence description. No complete works please. No
paragraph on the back that would take over 30 seconds to read. Just
the facts mam. Send it to me or Carl. I'll put what I get into the
podcast. Or two, depending on how much I get.

Chuckk Hubbard biggiantharp.mp3 - Grabs you from the first 10 seconds
and never lets go

FMscape1.mp3 - I can't remember where I found this, but it's great
stuff - I'll play the first 3 minutes of it unless I hear otherwise.

Gene Ward Smith dreyfus new font.mp3 - I plan to take the first 5
minutes. Sit back and be ready to get bathed in microtonality.

Jacob Barton funwithxenharmonicity+hyperimprovisationtasty.mp3 - I
haven't had a chance to listen at real time speed to this, but I like
the 2x. Have to cut it at 4:30 or so to allow more in. And what
follows is even better...

Untravelled Path sweetheresy-sampler.mp3 - nice acoustic bass finger
piano work - came in through Jeff Harrington's reblog
http://hollowtreestudios.blogspot.com/2006/03/review-sweet-heresy-by-untravelled.html

one of these: Bill Sethares clariphonicsgroup2.mp3 -
Bill Sethares clariphonicsgroup2b.mp3
Bill Sethares clariphonicsgroup4.mp3 - help me choose.

Arthur B. Hunkins Iterum.mp3 - awesome drone - I think it came in on
the Csound list, but it's definitely microtonal. Wait for the 3:00
minute mark before making a decision. And the last 30 seconds are
transcendent.

Bill Sethares MysteryX.mp3 "Peter Gunn" meets "The Man with the
English Horn"

Dave Seidel DriftDhikr2.mp3 - terrific. Or I might pick:
Dave Seidel Threnody.mp3 - What do you think?

Christopher Bailey balladei.mp3 - Wonderful live performance. Only
Chris could have pulled it off. I'm planning to start at 2:00 and cut
out at 6:00 with a pointer to the full thing.

- I have to pick one of these. Any recommendations:
jon_lyle_smith-Ud_And_Nay.mp3
jon_lyle_smith-Ocean_Of_Fire.mp3
jon_lyle_smith-Dream_In_Overdrive.mp3
jon_lyle_smith-Piano_And_Trio_In_D.mp3
jon_lyle_smith-Quincunx.mp3

Jeff-Harrington-Spirale_dArco_for_Saxophone_Quartet.mp3 - not all that
microtonal, but terrific anyway - so sue me.

Prent Rodgers - One or two of my recent 30-60 second fragments from
the bumper music podcast. http://bumpermusic.blogspot.com .

If you want in on the next big podcast, send me a link to your piece
(3-5 minutes) on a web site, or email to micro.podcast@.... And

I apologize for being unclear about this. It's a struggle to actually
communicate anything on this sort of forum, and when that's combined
with my preference for brevity and posting-with-caution...well, we
have confusion.

MMM day is first and foremost anything you think it should be. It has
become centered around this Saturday (April 8, 2006) as a target for
producing a podcast, but I don't see why the festivities can't be
extended to whenever is convenient for you, since this "community" is
so asynchronized by its very nature. We could have a second deadline
in a week for an additional podcast. No need to fret; I don't want
this to be a bother to anyone, nor do I want anyone excluded by the
very design of the event.

I dunno, as long as it's microtonal (Johnny Reinhard includes all
music under this umbrella) and you're *making* it, should be fine.

Not a week, but a day! was the original thought. A frenetic flourish
of activity. But that's what works for me, what works for you?

In response to Jon's $.02, we gotta keep the day, it's too close to
chicken out now! But in the way of making a polished representation
of the community out of this, perhaps Saturday can be a
beginning-point rather than a deadline.

My most sincere apologies for seeming to step on people's toes,
disorganization, poetic idealism, etc.

Give me a f***ing break. There is no reason for any one of us to *not* see what we could do in a week, or a day, or an hour. But when it gets announced in such short notice, the Grand Cosmos Plan of Life Issues may just not have that week/day/hour available for something like making music. There might be something of a more potent import.

You - of all people, which you acknowledge - don't have any right to point fingers. And I know you meant it as a prod to Gene (or others) but your judgement isn't appreciated.

My thought was to record any old rubbish on the day, just to be part of a community making music. Now the talk's about aiming for quality, and making it a serious compilation. Should I bother? I don't have the equipment to record anything good, quickly.

Doesn't it have to be deliberately tuned by his definition. What if I record something in whatever scale my flute plays? (Probably a boring one.)

Hi Prent,

Thanks for including me. I have two other possibilities as well.

There's my latest published thing, "Drift Dhikr II" (http://mysterybear.net/article/19/drift-dhikr-ii), which is only 5 minutes.

But maybe even better, I also have something entirely different: "Sunday Afternoon", which is a piece of (gasp) tonal chamber music. I put this one out a few days ago as a MIDI retuning/rendering challenge here and on the Tuning list. So far, I have a very nice version from JLSmith that I think would be good in the podcast: http://mysterybear.net/files/SUndayAFternoon-(JLSmith).mp3 (duration 3:06). (I'm hoping to have versions from Charles Lucy and perhaps a couple of other people soon, but I'm happy enough with Jon's version to submit it.)

Jon, my comment wasn't directed at you. No, don't reply. Take a
walk in your neighborhood or something.

Here you go then:

I used Csound in the end, with existing instruments, so not that bad. I overran the 7th local time, but only for the post-processing. I think the music-making date was the 7th. It uses an ssssL pentatonic scale with different tunings.

school and wonder what daddy is doing talking into a microphone.

Here's the current list, and I have to freeze it for now, but I could
make another one Sunday.

Well, it's been 24 hours, and my message about midi -> wav
rendering still hasn't shown up on the web, or been delivered. :(
