[microsound] .microsound 10th anniversary

[Michael North]

just a thought/or more a question....as this is 10 years of this  
list....i've been following it for a few years...is this|are we...a  
movement of sorts, or just a bunch of sound people who like|identify  
with|practise microsound...do most of us use microsound techniques in  
our work....i didn't participate in the discussions around the Curtis  
Roads book, maybe these questions were answered there????... i use  
various techniques, a lot of granulation, but i'm not sure if i would  
identify my work as 'microsound'....anyway just a question/thought/ 
whatever....
happy 10th
