.microsound 10th anniversary

This October marks the 10th year anniversary of the .microsound list and
I am scouting around for ideas to help celebrate this momentous occasion.
I've posted this on the Facebook .microsound page and have received some
response to it.

Here are some blue-sky ideas to get the creative juices flowing:

- live events held in various locations - possibly simultaneous and linked
    - stream live audio to an Icecast server
    - interactive laptop collaborations between locations
- .microsound web page containing pieces by list members
- desktop wallpapers
- T-shirt designs as .pdfs - freely down-loadable and iron-on
- video or animation projects reflecting the .microsound aesthetic
posted to a web page
- writings/essays on microsound
- using the microsound archives as a source for creating work: text to
sound, links, data-mining, etc
- web radio event
- circuit bending kits packaged in CD jewel cases
- patches, software apps, java web based sound apps

OK that's all I can think of for now but maybe I'll start a wiki page
and we can add to this and select the most feasible projects?

oh and yes I know I posted a promotional announcement to the main list
but hey, this is special and I wanted to make sure *everyone* saw it
ciao for now
KIM

Wow!  Happy 10 years to everyone.  :-)

If anyone in NYC would be interested, I'd love to talk about having a weekend of talks and performances to mark the occasion perhaps?  I help run a little art space in Bushwick and we'd love to donate the space (with baby grand piano, PA system and the trimmings...) for a weekend to celebrate.

I'm in the NYC area, and would enjoy taking part in this, in any capacity.

just a thought/or more a question....as this is 10 years of this  
list....i've been following it for a few years...is this|are we...a  
movement of sorts, or just a bunch of sound people who like|identify  
with|practise microsound...do most of us use microsound techniques in  
our work....i didn't participate in the discussions around the Curtis  
Roads book, maybe these questions were answered there????... i use  
various techniques, a lot of granulation, but i'm not sure if i would  
identify my work as 'microsound'....anyway just a question/thought/
whatever....
happy 10th
