source file: mills3.txt Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 07:59:24 +0200 Subject: Tape Swap release From: Denis.Atadan@mvs.udel.edu Hey Gang- I'm going to be sending out all the tapes tomorrow. I think over all the swap was a big success. It was a real pleasure to put this project together. It was considerably more time and money consuming than I had expected, however. This was the only drawback to doing this, otherwise it was great. There was a large amount of material that I had been given to choose from. Editting this thing was a little painful as I wish I could have put on alot more material than the 90 minutes had allowed. There were all kinds of considerations that played in deciding what finally went on the tape. I had to balance between representing Tuning List members fairly and representing an array of tunings adequetly. I also took into consideration representing style and types of performance. Of paramount importance in selecting the cuts was musicality. I wanted to put together a tape that was a compilation of good music. Of course this is subjective. So don't shoot if you didn't get your favorite piece on. I tried to create a tape that flowed well and set each piece up so that it would be heard in its best light. I've played the tape for several people that have nothing to do with music other than they listen to alot of it and the reviews have been overwhelmingly favorable. This is great news, I think. It's something you can hand to someone and say "look, see we're not just a bunch of wankers"! The numeration on the liner notes is nothing less than bizarre. The reason for this is that it was 1) done _real_ late at night and 2) revised after the intial printing of the liner notes and 3) I live in fear of the number 7, so there is no track 7. It's alittle confusing but you're all smart dudes. I trust you'll be able to wend your way through it. and the play list is... 1) John Starrett "Dance of the Mermaids" 2) Neil Haverstick "Swing 19" 3) Denny Genovese and the Exotic Music Ensemble "Gypsy Dance" 4) Warren Burt "Almond Bread Harmonies II" 5) Denis Atadan "Times to Sprout" 6) Denis Atadan "The Usual 2020 Jam" (don't worry folks they're short!) 7) Dead Silence 8) Elaine Walker "Lost Souls" 9) Randy Winchester excerpts from "Comets over Flatlands" 9a) Randy Winchester excerpts from "Comets over Flatlands" 10) Neil Haverstick excerpt from " Microseconds" 11) Allan Strange "Phoenix Rising" SIDE B 12) Gary Morrison " A Different Drummer" 12a) Gary Morrison "Alternative Fuels" (movement 3) 13) David Finnamore "Tales of the Bullroarer" 14) Denny Genovese and the Exotic Muisc Ensemble "Ancient Cultures" 15) Bruce Campbell "Enharmonic Canon" 16) Brian McLaren excerpt from "240 Piano Pieces" 16b) Warren Burt " Music for Microtonal Piano Sounds" part 6a 17) Bill Alves "Hiway 70" 18) Bill Sethares "Circle of Thirds" 19) Graham Breed "Fuckfeedback" 20) Paul Erlich "Fragment in 22-tone equal temperment" 21) Charles Lucy "Lelo Ledung" 22) Gary Morrison "Symphonietta for 7 Equal Frequency Steps" (movement 3) These tapes should be getting to you within a few days. I hope you enjoy them. As I've said it was a real pleasure to work on this project. Maybe we can do it again in a year or two. Hopefully these tapes will add a little dimension to little chats. and if anyone has any complaints whatsoever please e-mail John Starrett. John's the busiest guy I know and I'm sure he'll give you're gripe full regard. ;-) Best, Denis Atadan SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: Daniel Wolf Subject: TUNING digest 1199 PostedDate: 07-10-97 15:31:06 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 07-10-97 15:30:50-07-10-97 15:30:51,07-10-97 14:29:24-07-10-97 14:29:25 DeliveredDate: 07-10-97 14:29:25 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C1256529.004A3783; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 15:30:38 +0200 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA09902; Tue, 7 Oct 1997 15:31:06 +0200 Date: Tue, 7 Oct 1997 15:31:06 +0200 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA08590 Received: (qmail 28668 invoked from network); 7 Oct 1997 06:30:56 -0700 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 7 Oct 1997 06:30:56 -0700 Message-Id: <199710070927_MC2-2315-9456@compuserve.com> Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
