Updates to my MP3.com page



Hi there folks,

The last time I wrote and mentioned this topic to any of you I was just 
testing to see if the one MP3 I had up on MP3.com really worked or not. A 
buddy of mine put it up for me (and I was thrilled, thank you Jeff 
Kaiser). 
But I didn't know for myself how well it worked (or not) because my own 
home 
computer was so slow I couldn't stream or download any of it myself. I 
could 
log on and see my silly picture (oh boy) but I couldn't actually hear a 
thing. However, it did seem to work pretty well for a good many of you and 
I 
thank you for your kind replies in letting me know even if you thought the 
music rather strange.

Now armed with a faster computer and relatively high-speed access to the 
net 
I have assumed control of my MP3.com page myself and have put up even more 
sonic nonsense to embarrass my friends and family with. There are now a 
total 
of 11 tracks (nearly an hou's worht of music) up there at: 
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/138/ted_killian.html
 
Most of this stuff will still be unlistenable to some of you for technical 
reasons (some pieces are kinda longish and would take a long time to 
download). But online "streaming" is available if you have RealPlayer at 
high- and low-res levels. Others of you will still find this stuff 
unlistenable for other reasons... aesthetic ones no doubt. Sorry, I can't 
help that. But you might give it a try anyway and let me know what you 
think. 
I'm not terribly thin skinned and would appreciate the constructive 
feedback.

As a sort of "listening guide" I thought some of you might appreciate 
having 
me categorize these pieces into levels of listening difficulty (to borrow 
a 
term from Laurie Anderson) to aid in choosing what to bother listening to.

Easy listening: none available at this time (but you never know)

Mildly strange: Hubble*; Laugh Cry; Nocturne; Prayer; Reverse Logic

Pretty Strange: Relentless; Flux Eterna; God's Sock Puppet; Still Waiting

Very Strange Indeed: Bird Headed Dwarf; Float

* This was the "untitled" track that Jeff originally put up for me.

Well, have fun folks. Again, let me know if these work and what you think 
of 
them (even a good "rant" could contain useful feedback). It may be nearly 
2001 and I may not be showing any signs of "growing up" any time soon 
but...

Have a happy new year anyway!
