And can I do one too? Can I? (It would be a lo-fi audio cassette, as I'm still in the dark ages of recording, unless i can persuade my son to do something for me on his computer set-up...)
Thanmk you! Get crazy, folks!

Okie Dokie ÎºÏ ÏÎ¯ÎµÏ ÎºÎ±Î¹ κÏÏιοι!
I announce the opening of the JOB_APP compilation!
JOB_APP (the JOhn Bennett Audio Poetry Project)
will consist of 50 audio works by 50 Fluxlist folks (I hope!).
The audio pieces that you choose to create will use one of John's
text pieces
as a starting point. If you haven't already chosen a work of his to
mangle, dangle, or just spangle,
you may want to check the Fluxlist archives here:

Just put Bennett in the Search window and you should have quite a
list to work with
(maybe John has other suggestions concerning his website).
I know that not everyone has access to CD burners etc, so this is why
I am leaving
the media that you choose to send me pretty much open.
Yes, CDRs and mp3s would be the preferred way, but DAT, minidisc, and
cassette would work too.
I've decided on a maximum limit of 10 minutes per person, so that it
all can fit as HIGH quality mp3s
on a single CD. When you send your submission,
mention which Bennett text you are using as well as the name of your
work.
So if your name is Rusty Naffziger, and you decided to use today's
text from John called "Wet Meat"
and you decided to call your work "Semiological Falsesighted," then
your work may be listed like this:
1) Rusty Naffziger: Semiological Falsesighted ("Wet Meat")
I've now decided on 3 months deadline instead of 4, so this means
that all
CDRs, cassettes, emailed mp3s, etc should be on my desktop by DECEMBER 1
(after all, you won't have time to do anything during December
anyway, right?).
I will send reminders to all of you typical last-minute tax senders
about
OCTOBER 1 and again about NOVEMBER 1 if we haven't reached 50
submissions by that time.
Of course, I will announce when I've received goodies from 50 folks
and begin assembly early.
I will do the assembling of the tracks (probably using chance
operations),
the design of the CD covers (each one different) and the design of
the 50 discs themselves
(also, each one different). I'm really expecting to spend December
doing this
with the intention of getting them to everyone around Xmas time or
the first days of '06.
I'm planning, too, on an online "gallery" of the covers and discs so
that everyone can see what they didn't get
and begin fighting over
trades........................................OK, just kidding on the
intent.................................................
hmmm...
OK!
