Tuning Punks

Hi gang-
The Tuning Punks site is up and running.

http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/72/the_tuning_punks.html

Things are being approved
really quickly at the moment, and I have submissions from Haverstick and
Lucy at this time. I want to make the site available for anyone's
microtonal music, and be as open as possible to all kinds of content,
including examples. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to encode music
for anyone, but I will post all submissions in the proper format. Please
let me know if you find any inaccuracies or copyright violations.
Submissions as attachments will be accepted at

jstarret@carbon.cudenver.edu. Thanks all.

How will you decide whether to reject or accept a submission? I.e., what,
operationally, do you mean by "microtonal"?

I notice that they may "deliver targeted advertisements that may be of
interest to you." Is there an option to turn this off? I don't want to give
them my email address if it's just going to be another source of junk mail.

Oooh, that's dicey. If the singers are singing in non 12tet, then I think
it's appropriate. How about sending me the non accompanied pieces, or
those with pedal only, or both?

I think that applies only to the page administrator (me). Your email would
only be listed in your credits if you request that
I put it in. Even then, I doubt if the folks at mp3.com would have the
time or inclination to root around in there to spam you. I recieve
about one mailing from mp3.com every other day for my other site, and I
just delete it. I think you are perfectly safe. I like your stuff, and I
hope you will let me post some.

If any of you are on the forum cd and would like to be put on Tuning Punks
at mp3.com I would be glad to do it for you. I had previously said that I
didn't have time to make .mp3 files, but Audio Grabber makes it so easy I
have relented.

Well, the problem is you have to give them your email address to listen to
anything on their site. I guess I could give them an old address I haven't
used in years or a completely bogus one and see if that works. I just don't
like web sites that set up unnecessary barriers that you have to give them
personal information to get through.

"Vilano" by Ernie Crews is gorgeous. Unfortunately I couldn't hear
Starrett's bass work on my Altec Lansin speakers. Hoorah for Haverstick for
being a pioneer of the 19-tone guitar!

Hi gang-
I'm afaid I have misplaced some information. I think one of you
sent me some artwork for the album cover for a tuning punks piece that I
cannot place. It is called hands.jpg and it is a colorful, abstract,
undersea-looking 250-335 pixel picture. Please let me know if this is
yours.

Monz' Invisible Haircut has made it to the Punks page:
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/72/the_tuning_punks.html

I will be posting four Kraig Grady pieces tonight. Look for them in about a week, as mp3.com is
a little slow in the approval department lately.

And with a terrific graphic supplied by John! Thanks!!

Maybe this is a good time to explain the title: A friend of
mine wrote a play called 'Invisible Haircut', and when he asked
me to write the incidental music, I suggested this tune (which
I had written about 3 years before) as the 'main title'.
He liked it, and I wrote the rest of the music as variations
on it.

The play takes place mostly inside a barbershop, and the
characters are a bunch of different guys of all ages, who just
hang around the shop each day talking and killing time. I say
'mostly', because there are many moments where their monologs
cause them to get lost in a reverie in their own fantasy world,
until they come back to reality in the barbershop.

Anyway, one of the older characters is bald, with a ring of
short hair around his bald spot. Every week when he requests\
to have what little hair is left trimmed, the barber says,\
'Oh, you want another Invisible Haircut!'.
