[microsound] Should musicians names appear on the anouncement? What about the name of the computer?

[Bill Jarboe]

Hi,

   I've heard of applause for vinyl transcriptions. Some audio  
hardware companies , japanese especially; feature their designers ,  
engineers .

   To the original question I suggest leaving the ensemble absent  
from the announcement and crediting the performers at the event.
