works wiki? -- opinions anyone?

Hey tuning-heads,

I had this thought---sometimes I come in and out of being active on
this and the main list----but I also feel like I sure would hate to
miss a killer new piece like Danny's recent post. I'm wondering if we
can have a strictly works-only mailing list or some kind of RSS feed
alert when someone posts a new piece. It would be sort of a
crystallization of the MMM vision, and be about the music. We could
off course cross-post to MMM and tuning, but the new list would be
reserved for just produced music announcements.

What do you all think? If it's a separate list, it would totally be ok
with me, and the mostly low-traffic might be a plus for some, who like
me, prefer not to have to weed through large volumes of off-topic
stuff, or one-liner replies anyway.

I set up a wiki page for updating with new microtonal works and
apparently updated it for five months:

<http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/MusicWatch>

I may be in the habit of making invitations but not doing absolutely
everything necessary to effect participation. I definitely was really
excited about finding absolutely every microtonal piece on the web at
one time, compiling much of the Microtonal Listening List
(http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/MicrotonalListeningList), and am,
to an extent, burnt out on that endeavor and unhappy when it has had
the effect of commodifying people's art.

I don't like mailing lists and don't want another one. The microtonal
wiki has a "notify me" button which can notify you in the form of an
RSS feed or an email subscription. That would only work if one or
more people were willing to keep it updated. (It's rather easy.)

Also, Petr Parizek needs to stop using YouSendIt and find a permanent
host for his music! which deserves repeated listenings!

Hey Jacob, everybody-

I forgot wbout your wiki!?....my main concern is that people here are
not in the habit of posting to it, otherwise that would be killer, and
I was more thinking the idea of somehow having a list that either
artificially 'farmed' for audio links on this and the main list, or
setting up something that would automatically, or in any case, be
easily cross-posted to.

IOW, a list that was only about posting new music....but perhaps it's
best like you said to stick with a wiki like yours...I don't know, but
I share your frustration with mailing lists---they are a real time waster.

Best,
Aaron.

Jeff Harrington has set up something that does this automatically. I
subscribe to the Cacophonous RSS feed, and get strange music all the
time: http://cacophonous.org/index.xml . Put that address into your
podcasting software and you will get some wonderful stuff, including
the following recent entries:

- Charlemagne Palestine and Steve Reich on NonPop show #42
- Espace-metal, a csound composition made with Blue
- The Tone Generation show #9 - a series on early electronic music
- The Juventas Podcast

He also grabs anything from my podcasting blog at
http://bumpermusic.blogspot.com and it shows up at cacophonous
automatically for everyone else to hear my latest 30 second strangeness.

I could set up a MakeMicroMusic blog on blogspot, and we could post
new music there as a podcast, and he would pick that up as well if we
asked him. I don't know how it works, but it is a wonderful way to
hear new music from all over the place.
