Subject: my two cents

Well, the list was quiet...

I've been sitting here reading the daily digests of these proceedings
for about a month and figured it's time I put in my two cents worth...

To Doug P.; thanks for setting me straight on Wiard, but especially for
the info on Blacet Research (and now I see Mr. Blacet himself is on the
list. This group gets more interesting by the minute). I've been hanging
my MOTMs in a 8U rack and wondered what I was going to put in the other
3 spaces (a MOTM PS mounted sideways, perhaps?). The noise module looks
particularly kinky...

To John B.; I'm going to get those CD's too. May I also suggest John
Cage's "Indeterminancy" (Smithsonian/Folkways SF40804/5), a 2-CD set.
It's a 90 min. lecture made up of 90 stories with a zen slant. The long
stories are spoken rapidly, while the short ones are drawn out, all the
while David Tudor is banging on a prepared piano and twiddling a short
wave radio. One of MY favorite party albums, but then, I have weird
parties.

To whom it may concern; the '410 is indeed cool! It takes practice to
tweak the thing the way you want, just like learning an instrument. I'm
running a guitar thru the preamp on my old, dusted-off Aries to the
'410. Try modulating the Rate w/ '320 sine whose shape is modulated with
slow noise. Yeah, baby!

To Paul S.; how's this for begging: "If I don't see my kits soon, I may
be forced to take a vacation!"

to be continued,
