but wouldn't this be a bit boring?

(with Guillermo here) thinking about it]

the paragraph was OK.

let's see... we're (well... i'm) 'composing sounds'.

a sound event can be thought as a complex phenomena. ie: a piano note has a
'behaviour' thru it's duration (it starts loud and then gets softer, starts
with lots of harmonics and slowly looses them, etc.)

some sounds have 'other sounds' within them. ie: when a glass falls and
breaks, the sound is composed of lots of small sounds of each of the parts
of the glass.

so you may make music for a piano (having around 88 sound-producing
strings) or for glasses, or for pre-recorded sounds :)

in short, the sound database, the collection of small vocal pieces are like
the strings of a piano being played by lots of people from internet.

clear?

faults just like the greek goods used to have'

i think the spanish translation we will use is out of copyright... i have
to check that.
anyway i hadn't thought of the copyright problem.

one worldwide sponsor or local ones?
