Wiardgroup

Vladamir Ussechevsky had a famous quote to the effect that, once recorded, all sounds 
become electronic sounds. This was in regard to "musique concrete".

Technically correct, but I think he was hinting at the deeper idea that all recorded sound 
can become "grist for the mill" of the tape composer.

Not to take anything away from anyone else, but one long time Wiard customer, Michael 
Truman of Alberta, truly excels at processing field recordings into pure electronic music. 
Very impressive, he tells me he just uses Borg filters, but the results are amazing.

The people of this group never fail to surprise and please with their imagination, breadth 
and depth of technique and the quality of the results.

A bit more self editing wouldn't hurt, but that holds true for every human art form!

Here is a tip from the theatre. Time moves very fast on stage and very slow in the 
audience. So a one minute gap may seem like 10 seconds to the performers, but like 10 
minutes to the audience.

Just something to think about... no offense intended to anyone.

"ex Hooterville, Veritas"

all of this aesthetic relativism betrays the unambiguous nature of a
true satori from the muses.
Ya'll can wallow in your 'systemics' and 'deconstructed cultural
contextualizations' but I can tell you with absolute clarity that
there is NOTHING musical about frying bacon.

period.
