[microsound] Exit Through the Gift Shop

[Ted Pallas]

there's (almost) always an empty space between two speakers.  Speakers throw
sound out in a cone shaped pattern, right?  So when you turn your head
you're actually placing your ear between where the cones would meet.

The problem with applying this to a cityscape is that sound is coming from
ALL OVER EVERY WHERE.

Are there any microsounders in NYC who'd be interested in getting together
to talk IRL about this topic?  Specifically, about our aural relationship
with our city, and what the artist's role is in that relationship?
