	.microsound
		.microsound is an unmediated mailing list oriented toward discussion of the styles of digital and post-digital music promulgated by the proliferation and widespread adoption of digital signal processing (dsp) tools.
		.microsound is not a "genre" mailing list, since this proliferation has occurred largely without regard for stylistic boundary.
		.microsound refuses to become a sounding board for ebay auctions, playlists, and the periodic expurgations of listmembers' record collections.

		Roads discusses the uses of microsound in composition—focusing mainly on his own works, the aesthetics of composing with sound particles, and what he thinks the future of this field will be.
		Roads is an eloquent writer with a far-reaching understanding of the history, mathematics, and possibilities of microsounds; I would have been very interested in a more thorough exposition of his ideas about the potential directions of this new frontier in music.
		Microsound should appeal to composers and theorists alike; it seamlessly blends all aspects of quantum acoustics from history and mathematical theory through compositional practice and aesthetics, rewarding the reader with wonderful quotes, programming hints, and compositional inspiration.

	Portable Media: Teeny, Tiny MicroSound iPod Speakers - Gizmodo
		MicroSound is the brainchild of Miglia, the same company that makes the TVMax DVR system for the Mac mini.
		Migilia calls the MicroSound "slim, ultra-light and ultra-modern," which are pretty strong words for a pair of small speakers that—gasp!—integrate with an iPod.
		The MicroSound plugs into the headphone jack of the iPod nano (and shuffle), making it "the perfect companion for any outdoor activity."...So long as that activity lasts about 12 hours, since that's how long the MicroSound will keep playing music on a single AAA battery.

	Pipe Leak
		MicroSound is a low cost, leak localisation system, which is designed to identify areas of leakage with minimal resource and infrastructure development.
		The strong magnet on the base of the MicroSound noise logger is simply attached to any access point in the distribution system, such as valves, fittings or pipework, and left in place to record sound levels continuously.
		MicroSound records sound in the pipework continuously during a period of low use, typically a two hour window between 2:00am and 4:00am (the default setting).

	New project gives MicroSound heart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Art Kuller, president of MicroSound Systems, a 6-year-old technology company that has 18 employees, inspects a flexible circuit that was manufactured at the company's Snoqualmie site.
		MicroSound will build the flexible circuit small enough to attach to the end of a catheter so narrow that a doctor will be able to thread it through an artery or vein and into a patient's heart.
		MicroSound competes in a smaller segment of that market, one that produces so-called "high density" circuits, that is, circuits packed densely with wiring and other parts.

		Off to one side, Kim Cascone is bathed in LED glow as his fingers skate over a mousepad; a minutiae of sound gradually coaxed from the mouse and through the speakerforest mimics the distant light of dying stars.
		Cascone, inadvertently or not, is the maven of microsound.
		The appellation doesn’t become him simply as co-instigator and moderator of the same so-named internet mailing list but because he long ago chose to dig deeper into the aural dirt, as it were, to the nature of sound as music.

	Curtis Roads: Microsound
		Microsound is perhaps the best theoretical and practical guide to date, its 409 pages concisely and fluently written throughout.
		Chapters three to six deal with the theory and practice of granular synthesis, examining everything from the organisation and processing of grains to the implementation of micro-scale transformations.
		The later chapters explore the implications and aesthetics of composing with microsound.

	MicroConnex with Duke U biomedical ( heart ), news release-
		Smith added that MicroSound Systems, due to its advanced “micro-connectivity” technology, is the ideal partner for the project and is playing a critical part in the device's development.
		MicroSound's circuitry will also connect the scanner to an external monitor, which will display for doctors full-color, high-resolution cardiac images as they're being captured by the indwelling array.
		MicroSound is at the forefront for newly developed processes that will allow for major advances in interconnect technology and potentially the development of products such as packaging and interconnection systems for optical arrays, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and stimulation electrode arrays for cochlear implant systems.

	interview with phil thomson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The fantasy is that microsound's incorporation of glitches and errors embodies some kind of critique of technology, but I think the critique is now at the point where it risks becoming formulaic and losing its critical edge.
		It's great that there's been a real shift in modes of distribution as a result of the digital technology which forms the technological base for microsound, and so we've seen a crop of CD-R and weblabels popping up which have helped to shift the way music is produced and presented and received.
		Too often, microsound tends towards modes of presentation which merely parallel conventional CD's or labels, as well as usually mirroring the conventional organization of music into closed "pieces" which exist as objects of contemplation in a particular way.

		This is a community for electronic/tape artists who are making recordings in the nebulous genre known as microsound (and its kindred genres ie.
		Since the definition of "microsound" is somewhat flexible and arbitrary, and the parameters are a source of endless debate, it's fair (in my opinion) to include ambient and glitch artists, as well as those who process field recordings and generate rhythms, textures, and soundscapes with noise and found sounds (phonography).
		A well-respected source of information on the world of microsound music is the.microsound list.

	MIT PRESS
		Mixing historical, theoretical, and practical information, Microsound ($47.95) is an interesting and informative scholarly text that is ideal for those who wish to explore granular sound.
		Chapter 2 presents a history of microsound from antiquity to the present and begins with a four-page listing of all known electronic instruments created from 1899 through 1950.
		However, it is written for a scholarly audience and thus may be of limited interest to those who are looking for a straightforward “cookbook” for creating granular sounds.

	Powells Books - Microsound by Curtis Roads
		Below the level of the musical note lies the realm of microsound, of sound particles lasting less than one-tenth of a second.
		Recent technological advances allow us to probe and manipulate these pinpoints of sound, dissolving the traditional building blocks of music — notes and their intervals — into a more fluid and supple medium.
		Sounds coalesce, evaporate, and mutate into other sounds.Composers have used theories of microsound in computer music since the 1950s.

		He does let you hear some of his composition that he used for public performances but he doesnt really explain why he thought that particular type f synthesis worked well for that performance.
		I learned a little more about GS from Microsound but to be honest his Computer Music Tutorial is much better and the description of GS in the CMT is almost a good.
		The book contains a full history of particle synthesis going back to the early philosophies aroused by the debate of whether sound is a particle or wave, right through to his own recent experiments and instruments.

		SONIC intrusion, phonography, electro-acoustic theory and practice, lower-case philosophy, textures of sound, these are all elements of microsound art.
		Microsound art is about finding and making music using sounds not generally associated with music as we understand it.
		Music doesn't have to be about guitars and drums or keyboards, it can be a lot of things, and this is what microsound seems to be about -- exploring the beauty of sound in all of its wondrous and at times harsh and uglier forms, and there are many.
