Dear Ian,
Just got back from the academic ICMC but picked up the Freight Elevator Quartet
'fix it in post' CD from cycling74's label. Alongside labels such as
DIFFUSION i MéDIA,
this new label seems to provide the listener with a very broad
spectrum of music, none of
which could be so easily compartmentalized into academic or otherwise.
If academic were to be considered as 'made by a person working in the
academy', then
we can just assume that academic is a community just like any other community.
The way I see it, our community tends to get on well with other
communities and v.v.
There are always exceptions however.
Adrian.
