* PDF AND AUDIO FILES NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE *

Global Islands Project — ongoing series of multi-media pdf-ebooks — a pastoral,
pictorial and phonic elicitation of island parameters.

Your (Art)world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe some
cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn’t change the bad faith of it and
as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole life being an act of bad
faith, where everything is self-interest and nothing more, where every human
interaction is driven by a silent, even subconscious calculation of some ulterior
motive, to the point that a sea of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there’s
no small island left from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith,
because even that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but
self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your professed
agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to the conscience in
order to assure it that it exists.

thanks-in-part to and/oar’s examples I’m considering
stressing the audio portion of my Global Islands Project
with an augmented PDF book included on the CD(s)

I have the original recordings for all the mp3s online so
what I’d like is an editor/publisher/distributor to
orchestrate material for the CD from the online files…

Cmdist – Music5

By JyKang in [EA]ComputerMusic 0 Comment
Interesting stuff going on in the CCRMA Cmdist list concerning a revival of Max Matthews’ Music5.

Bill Schottstaedt’s original post (26 April, 2008):

I’ve added music5.f to the Snd tarball and CVS site. It’s the
version of music 5 we had here at Stanford in the late 60’s,
typed in laboriously by yours truly from faded and yellowing
XGP output. The “I” and “1” characters (which make up 50%
of the total) are nearly indistinguishable in this output, so
my eyes are blurry, my hands are palsied, my shoulders
hurt. I need a beer. Anyway, I would love to get this working,
but I can’t remember much Fortran, and gfortran doesn’t
like the dialect used in music5.f (“obsolete arithmetic IF” etc).
If anyone is interested, I’d be more than happy to run back
to the sources to check up on typos and so on.

An archive of the Cmdist list can be found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/cmdist@ccrma.stanford.edu/ .
Link to Snd tarball: ftp://ftp-ccrma.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/snd-9.tar.gz

Also, a couple manuals on MUSIC IV have been scanned and uploaded online:
ftp://ftp-ccrma.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/music-iv-class-notes.pdf
ftp://ftp-ccrma.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/music-iv-programmers-manual.pdf

Enjoy!
