Re: Re: Re: ruccus.org: Calling All Unconventional Computer Music Artists
Jim can speak for himself but I speculate he means
that this excludes generative music work, for example,
that one might make in Flash or Director - mp3s are a
tad on the linear side.

Re: Re: Blog vs Board (re: Blogging Survey)
< I am guilty of second and third
guessing myself about what to say for fear of being
horribly misunderstood by who knows and at what
costs?>
I still shudder when I think about my first post to
Rhizome -it had lots of horrible manifesto like
feeling and a fair degree of "LOOK AT ME!" to it.
..and its probably out there and accessible..arrgh!
However since I decided to participate rather than
shout ( I hope!) I have found the list to have the
wonderful spin off of making me think through my ideas
in a systematic way and attempting to argue them
clearly. For me this has been of enormous personal
benefit.
I've also met some very interesting folk and discoverd
a lot of things I didn't previously know.
Furthermore I've come to respect a number of people
whose views I largely reject and therefore at least
carefully consider what they have to say, and, on
occasion, I've had my mind changed.
For me participation in the list has been literally a
life changing activity but I do think a certain
investment of time and energy is needed for
participation to bear fruit.
Also ..to be brutal about it.. if someone has
something to say.. eventually they'll find the courage
and foolishness to say it...this *is* a discussion
list for grown ups and not a kindergarten.
As for blogs ...well..fine.. let a hundred flowers
bloom... but the glorious elegance and simplicity of
the list form, with its slow burn and its cumulative
impact, makes it unbeatable for me.

Re: Curt Cloninger
Oh Dear!
The idea that someone whose rhetorical heights reach
cheap innuendo of a McCarthyite bent should be taken
seriously for even an instant as a critic of Curt
Cloninger , who has contributed so much and so clearly
to this list, would be laughable if it wasn't that in
these fevered times that mud can stick.
On the few occasions that Curt has ventured a
political opinion it hasn't been mine.
On art he is matchless, even when one disagrees with
him.
What stands out about him is both his fearlessness and
his honesty.
The idea firstly that Bush et al require a provocateur
on the list is bizarre paranoia but the idea that they
would recruit the one person who is completely open
about his differences with what I think he would call
the "liberal consensus" is totally risible.
Please do crawl back into your hole, Mr Dymond, & stay
there - to date your posts have been both deeply
sleazy & ( in the old Yorkshire phraseology) *neither
use nor ornament*.
