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.

MP3 // parasite reworks

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.
