MiniDiscs are central to a major phase of my art.
Because of that major phase I am a subscriber to this list.

yes! The aural world of random sounds is as varied as the random ocular one.
I hope we can hear orchestrations from the list. Perhaps we can start
trading sounds. Anyone?
I am looking to get a deal on a Macki digital mixing board. Ideas anyone?

Re: FLUXLIST: RE: 2
Please do burn your minidisks recording !! I'm working on something currently. I recently asked the list for addresses of people with MiniDisc players. So far, eight people have responded - and from radically different parts of the planet at that! That was the most interesting thing about the replies I received. I don't quite know if the term "burn" applies to MiniDiscs the way it does to CD-Rs. That's why these new CD-recorders make me cringe when I see them in the stores. I can easily imagine so many people getting excited about the prospects of being able to burn their own CDs because of the format itself being so inaccessible in such a way to them before, however, by choosing a CD-recorder over a MiniDisc recorder, you limit your editing capabilities to "delete last track" and "delete all". Once a CD is "burned" it cannot be erased and re-burned. Recording to MiniDisc is identical and identically easy as recording to cassette - with the extra option of recording via optical cable added. What you record on MiniDisc can be chopped into little tiny segments if you wish and then rearranged however you want right on the disc. You can delete tracks and record new stuff in the reclaimed space. You can combine tracks together even after they've been shuffled, etc. MiniDisc's ease of use is unparalleled. The only thing that will supersede it, IMHO, is a completely solid-state medium (memory-sticks?). Myke

You are right, but: and "delete all". Once a CD is "burned" it cannot be erased and re-burned. Recording to MiniDisc is identical and identically easy Its downwards compatible ;-) Maybe you know somebody with a CD burner (like Owen, if he still likes those games)..? The only thing that will supersede it, IMHO, is a completely solid-state medium (memory-sticks?). Shure ! H.

Josh and all, I considered responding to this statement by Eric Andersen and then decided that such a childish and pointless statement was not worthy of a response. Josh wrote: Only, I wish that there would be less postings of off-topic "clutter" like Napster or minidiscs. I don't think these issues are off-topic. Fluxus takes a holistic approach to art making and issues of recording and distributing audio are relevant. I wonder why it is that yourself and others often feel the need to say that you don't like such and such "off-topic" material. If you were sitting with your friends talking about something and one of them suddenly mentioned something else you wouldn't complain at them. I see Fluxlist as a conversation among friends and I'm interested in everything my friends have to say. cheers, Sol.
