Gadies and Lentlemen,
I am working on the HMMM performance cd as I write this… listening, typing, planning at the same time as usual. There are too many exciting sounds all around to make, to hear, to capture if lucky.
Josh, the super HMMM blogmeister, will put up a full ad with probably more pertinent info about the event Sun. Nov. 18 at 3pm at Playwrights’ Workshop.
But for now I want to invite you all for a very nice performance, cd launch, party.

From the Barry Blesser book about acoustic architecture:

Social Spheres and Acoustic Arenas
Ownership rules of an arena are created informally when two or more individuals congregate for a social interchange. Territorial bubbles appear as if by magic around a group of individuals if they begin to interact, and the group quickly acquires rights to the arena. When encountering such a social bubble with its implied acoustic arena, outsiders are reluctant to intervene or to create sonic events (Lindskold et al., 1976). The strength of ownership rights to an acoustic arena depends on the distance between individuals, their perceived status, and the nature of their interactions. Cultures assign implicit rights to acoustic arenas, and there are complex unwritten rules governing the size of an arena being claimed.
Doesn’t this just speak tomes of what the HMMM on St. Laurent could be??? It reminds me that it is important for all the stimulators to remain a good distance from each other.
