10ms - PERSPECTIVES ON MICROSOUND

Diapason Gallery in NYC presened perspectives on the idea of "microsound"- a technical term and also a musical genre - in honor of the 10th anniversary of the .microsound.org mailing list (founded by Kim Cascone on 10/27/1999). 10ms featured multi-channel installations, sound objects, performances, lectures, texts, and other media.

Microsound is a term that encompasses explorations of sound on a time scale "shorter than musical notes." It includes and overlaps genres such as glitch music, granular synthesis, lowercase sound, etc.

Participating artists were: Brett Ian Balogh, Riccardo Benassi, Kim Cascone, Thanos Chrysakis, Robert Curgenven, Taylor Deupree, Ian Epps, eVa, Patrick Franke, Heribert Friedl, Richard Garet, Thomas Hildebrand, Ezekiel Honig, Sarah Karp, Kenneth Kirschner, Thomas Köner, Tomas Korber, Damian Marhulets, Mamoru Okuno, ​Josha Ott, Alka Rex, Kamran Sadeghi, Erik Schoster, Phillip Schulze, Bernd Schurer, Keiko Uenishi and Tamara Yadao.
