Subject: New list
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 1995 10:53:35 -0400 (EDT)


I proposed this list earlier this summer as a possible member
of the Spoon Collective. I still like that idea but, for now,
I've gone ahead to start it on my own.

I am starting a new mailing list, collab-mus, for discussion of
collaborative music-making that involves improvisation. My own
interest centers on relatively recent real-time interactive
composition related to post-war avant garde traditions (for
instance, Stockhausen's Aus den Seiben Tagen, Oliveros's Sonic
Meditations, the Inter/Play sessions of Boretz, Randall, and
others), but discussions of interactive improvisation in any
kind of music will be appropriate.

Contributions to the list could include scores for
interactions; reports of experiences as performer or listener;
discussions of aesthetic, ethical, and political issues;
reports and discussions on analogous collaborative enterprises
in media other than sound (for instance, collaborative poetry-
writing; MOOing). In keeping with the topic, the list is
unmoderated and will take whatever direction its contributors
give it.

To subscribe to the list, write to <majordomo-AT-virginia.edu>.
Leave the subject line blank. The message should consist of the
command "subscribe collab-mus" followed by your email address.
(If you give no address, the return address of the message will
be subscribed.)
