Hi,
I suggest, among other things, that you listen to my "band". We do
improvised electroacoustic music and you can listen to us at :
http://www.mp3.com/Impromptists
All the material on this page was recorded live.
As for the theoritical aspects of what I do in improvised
electroacoustics I didn't find/take the time yet to put it on paper.
I know I will do it but I don't know when.
Maybe if I am forced to do it somehow...
For listening stuff you could go to :
http://www.electrocd.com/
It's the site for the label "empreintes digitales" and the
distribution "diffusion imedia". Many things related to
electroacoustic there.
I hope this will help you a little.
