<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Hi all,</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">I've
been a lurker and occasional poster on the microsound list for a while
and I thought a few of you might be interested in this:</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><br>
</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Geometer is a new cultural
magazine dedicated to publishing interesting work in any format, including
poetry, prose, essay, fiction, critique and profile, art, photography
and music. </font> <br></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Geometer seeks writers of all
disciplines interested in articulating their speciality for a broad
but intelligent audience. We welcome historians interrogating the forgotten
or obscured, biologists and neuroscientists with an eye for the cultural
ramifications of their fields, architects and planners, geologists,
musicians, film makers and artists of all kinds.</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Our aim is to create a place
for cultural and intellectual life outside of academia, outside of the
commercial, and outside of the ever-proliferating range of narrow specialisations
in the arts and sciences.</font> <br></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">Named for the geometer moth*
whose caterpillar, lacking the means to crawl appears to measure the
world by the iterations of its forward movement, we take our direction
from our namesake and from the many other associations of our name.
We value subjective precision, earthbound ambition, and an empiricism
grounded in the surfaces of contact between ourselves and the world.</font> <br>

<p><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><i>*Over 300 varieties of geometer
moth occur in the British Isles, 26,000 worldwide. The family name geometer,
meaning literally 'earth-measurer', refers to the method of locomotion
of its caterpillars, which lack the means to crawl. Instead the geometer
caterpillar grasps the ground ahead with its forelegs, and by drawing
up its hind end and arching its body, grips an adjacent point with its
hind legs before propelling itself forward, reaching out to clasp a
more distant point. In this way it appears that the caterpillar measures
the earth by iterations of this same movement, using the length of its
own body as its basic unit of measurement.</i></font> <br></p>
