sorry for hijacking your thread but I really liked your description of
diffusion
what amazes me is how many people in the various arts (dance, film, etc)
have no knowledge of the 'art of diffusion'...
I recently ran into a situation where the person I was collaborating
with (I use the term 'collaborating' very loosely here) had no clue as
to what I was talking about when I explained the difference between
composing an electro-acoustic work and then diffusing it in public and
how they were separate art-forms that intersected but were still
distinct from one another
it was very frustrating to work with someone who thinks computer music
is composed with a push of a few buttons and easily changed/modified
during a performance...
there ought to be a law...
