about this

On December 2001, Kim Cascone invited the .microsound list to mutate, mangle, destroy, induce failure in, and generally f_ck up the tracks of his parasites cd.

These are the results.

abstract

by Kim Cascone

Parasites being organisms that live on the host body of larger organisms, I thought it an interesting concept for the use in place of the idea of "samples".

In the spirit of providing the microsound list with a community project I offer this invitation:

Using only the material found on tracks 2 - 20 on the Parasites CD (anechoic a001) create a new work no longer than 5 minutes in length.
Upload finished work to the microsound hotline server for others to hear:
[microsound.synthesizer.org]
Feel free to mutate, mangle, destroy, induce failure in, and generally f_ck up the samples to your hearts content.

guidelines:

This invite is to microsound list members ONLY
Deadline for submissions is Feb 14 2002.
microsound hotline server: [microsound.synthesizer.org]
Get the samples here: path: [Uploads/Parasites project folder/parasite samples]
Place your piece here: path: [Uploads/Parasites project folder/myfolder]
Please name your folder something unique and not "myfolder"
Post to the list that you have uploaded your piece (include the name of the piece)
Upload only 128kbps 44.1kHz stereo .mp3 files
Use filetype suffixes in your filenames: mynewpiece.mp3
Do not use spaces or non-alphanumerics chars in filenames:
- good: myNewPiece.mp3
- bad: #my new, #piece!.mp3
- underscores_are_ok
To get a microsound hotline server password, please contact: eric@synthesizer.org or kim@anechoichmedia.com.

random quote

"two tapes get played simultaneously in an abandoned agricultural reservoir, transmitted home over mobile phone and recorded on tape again. another get played outside during a storm, transmitted via walkie-talkie and recorded on video-tape, played back through old tv speakers at low volume and recorded directly to hard-disk via microphone."
