Making Microtonal Music (MMM) Day 2006

Thought I'd post this to tuning, since a lot of work went into it:
Jacob Barton came up with the idea to have a day celebrating making
music microtonally, and posted the idea on MMM. Various people ran
with the ball, and Prent Rodgers collated and MC'd a collection of 20+
pieces into two podcasts. Here are the details from Pren'ts
announcments - I hope people who aren't MMM members, and like to
listen to music, will check it out! (BTW, Harry Partch didn't come
back from the dead [yet] but makes two appearances...

From Prent (moderator of MMM):
So, I've posted the first of several podcasts to celebrate *Make
Microtonal Music Day 2006*. The first one includes works by ten composers.

1. Harry Partch Reading
2. Bill Sethares - MysteryX
3. Margo Schulter - In Hora Observationis
4. Graham Breed - MMMDay06
5. Joe Monzo - Theme from "Invisible Haircut"
6. Chuckk Hubbard - Big Giant Worms
7. Jon Lyle Smith - Piano and Trio in D#
8. Dave Seidel - Drift Dhikr
9. Anthony Kozar - FMScape no. 1
10. Daniel Anthony Stearns - Day Walks In

I ran out of time to include all 23 people who have submitted. This
one is 45 minutes long, and 40 MB big. I'll try to get the rest done ASAP.

... and then, shortly thereafter ...

I've posted the second podcast to celebrate *Make Microtonal Music Day
2006*. This one includes works by twelve composers.

1. Rick McGowan - 5min-sym-15tet
2. Rosencrantz the Sane - Nothing of any importance
3. Yahya Abdal-Aziz - Bunga Seroja
4. Jon Szanto - Do Something
5. Bill Sethares - Clariphonics Group
6. Prent Rodgers - Trumpet Songs 5 & 6
7. Magnus Jonsson & Jim Redfern - Anticperience
8. Jon Lyle Smith - Wind Rider
9. Gene Ward Smith - Dreyfus
10. Hans Straub - Asimchimsaia
11. Jacob Barton - Hyperimprovisation
12. Jeff Harrington - Spirale d'Arco for Sax Quartet

This one is 54 minutes long, and 57 MB but it's full of great stuff.

You can download and listen at either my Libsyn site (
http://podcast1024.libsyn.com ) or my Bumper Music Podcasts site (
http://bumpermusic.blogspot.com/ ). The libsyn lets you stream on your
computer, to avoid the time consuming download.

Better yet, subscribe using a tool like iTunes ( http://www.itunes.com
), Juice ( http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php ), Doppler (
http://www.dopplerradio.net/ ) or others. Subscribe by copying the RSS
feed for Podcast1024 ( http://podcast1024.libsyn.com/rss ) or Bumper
Music ( http://feeds.feedburner.com/bumpermusic ) to the podcatching
tool, then when new episodes are released, they will get downloaded at
night and just show up on your computer automatically.

You don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast, just a computer and a
net connection.

Cheers,
Jon

Given the huge amount of material, a CD must be published and marketted in
my humble opinion. The composers and producers could split the shares and we
could cheer on.

Cordially,
Oz.
