microbuilder book

The book, which grew to 260 pages at the beginning of 2005 is the most important component of the package besides the software. It will also give those people access to the aesthetics and the works of the micromusic_community who
are neither computer nor internet freaks and it offers a fascinating insight into the short but intense history of the micromusic project.

The book is produced with digital print technology and each microbuilder book is unique, containing a serial number, random input from the micromusic.net microliner database and the up-to-date login charts of the printing day.

The Contributions

The founders of micromusic as well as a number of more or less micromusic-
connected artists, journalists and friends tell about their experiences with micromusic.net and on-line projects in general. They point out visions of their own, lending the book a personal note that is usually kept private within the community. This turns the book into an interesting reading for both insiders as well as outsiders. Furthermore, this part of the book motivates the reader to start developing on-line and off-line communities of his/her own. In addition, many encouraging hints and cheat, dos and don’ts are talked about. We also want to give institutions and companies within the micromusic community environment the possibility for advertising in the book. This advertising space can be acquired at a reasonable price through the microbuilder.com website. This advertisement pages also makes it possible to thank those sponsors and cultural institutions who supported the microbuilder projects.

The Illustrations

The book is a visually stimulating reading for people interested in music, art and culture due to the many illustrations, diagrams and photos of micromusic_events and members. One learns how musical, graphical and textual contents have developed and affected one another.
