[microsound] ***microacoustic music project***

[David Powers]

I play piano, but I don't have access to an acoustic piano currently.
What would be the acceptable solution. Offhand, I could either use the
sampled piano I practice on, or create something by cutting up a
classical composition. Could you clarify whether either technique
would fall within the domain of what you propose?
