tape swap

Remember Dennis Atadan's tape swap of a couple years ago? Well, I pulled
out my copy and listened, and there's some great stuff on there! I have
begun making .wav files of the tape, and I will turn the .wavs into mp3
and post them on the Tuning Punks site at mp3.com if the composers of the
pieces wish. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the program notes, so if you
wish me to post your piece, please let me know its number and side. Also,
if you do not like the way I have recorded it after I have posted it, you
may submit your version in mp3 format and I will be glad to repost it.
Remember, my copy is at least 3rd generation: your copy to Dennis' master
to my copy. The quality is really quite good though, and I am using decent
equipment to run it off, so the mp3s should be OK.

Denis Atadan's tape swap contained some excellent microtonal pieces, but
despite a couple of pleas, I have been unable to get a response from
most of the participants to put these on the Tuning Punks. I made high
quality wav files of the pieces and cleaned them of tape hiss with Cool
Edit. The tape swap could be recorded as a regulation CD, and if the
participants are willing, it could be offered for sale just as the
Tuning@earth.mills.edu CD was. Of course without money to press it, it
would have to be burned one at a time, and the cost in terms of time and
materials to the person who mails out the copies and does the work is an
issue. *I* don't want to do it, but if someone else is interested, and
the participants agree, and some sort of swell plan is come up with, I
would be willing to make a master, or even several masters, so that *The
Plan* could be implemented.
