Re: [MMM] Recent Tunes

Participation. Well I actually went through the files last night. All of
them. Pretty interesting. I was wondering... I mean I think it's a sort of
intelligent deduction... I haven't looked through the archives at all here
yet; are all these empty folders just a matter of cleaning out the files
every so often? I notice you only have 20MB here and there are a few new
MP3's taking up like 3MB.

I really need to do some 7th limit stuff and higher. Every time I mess
around with it I seem to make sense. I just never do anything with it.
It's good to hear assemblage in higher limit constructs.

Ralph!!! LMAO... Yeah this is very reminiscent of Tuxedo Moon.

I got seriously wrapped up in all of those melody/timbre objects. When the
final chunk came in, the clarinettish thing in the right channel at the end,
I thought that was pretty trippy. Very anti-alienating. I've never heard
something that close to performance art backgrounding, that actually had
some kind of consciousness to it. For that matter, any obscure T-Rex used
to freak me out when it would walk off the map and just end.

Yeah that was pretty cool. Sounds a bit spirited in a cultured way. Or
cultured in a spirited way. Either way it's distinguishable from the
baseball hot dogs and apple pie America. Freshing.

This I'll just ditto. Something about just sitting around listening to
bells ring... I don't know, I'm having sort of a new thought here.
Listening to bells ring seems to be pleasant enough that when I hear bells I
don't sit around and analyze the musical content. They're just bells.
So... With all great effort trying to conform to so many different musical
principles, (with something like bells,) on one end of the spectrum, and
then just bing bong clang bells in the air on the other side of the
spectrum... Starting to wonder what can be found in between. Recognizable
music drifting in and out of strange sounds, eventually making the strange
sounds recognizable.

Err - so much for just dittoing.

Good work everyone. Glad to hear things.
