Look for a program called SAW (Software Audio Workshop or something). It's a cheap sequencer... Actually, the full version is expensive. Come to think of it, there is nothing that's any good for free on the internet. Nearly everything that's free on the internet either sucks or is useless without paying for a full version.

An Country and Western station I used to work for had a copy of SAW. I copied it before I quit. The full program [or, at least, the registered copy the station had] fits on one disk. It's not a bad program, considering I never paid for it. When it comes to software, I have nary a moral fiber in my body. If the original poster would like a copy, please get a hold of me. grant.h.horne http://delta.is.tcu.edu/~ghhorne/

As your attorney, I advise you not to publicate your plans to violate federal copyright law. I'll be sending you a bill shortly. khannan "bar exam? I don't need no stinkin' bar exam" suntharam kxs28972@bayou.uh.edu

Maybe you didn't qualify your statement enough by saying "I don't think there is any music software that's any good for free on the internet", but that *has* to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Look at all the good, *free* (and not as in cost) software that the Free Software Foundation puts out. Emacs, GCC, and probably more than you could imagine. Let's see, Apache is free & run by most websites. Let's see, sendmail is free, the software used to run this mailing list is free, hmm. I wouldn't doubt that most of the software used to run the net these days is free. Sure, some of it sucks, but there are wonderful peices of software out there, for free, that people have written not for their own gain, but for others. It is that attidute, that you would do something *because you enjoy it* and because *other people* will enjoy it, and not because you'll make some cash. Just so you know, free software does not mean free as in cost, but free as in it gives you freedom (like being able to modify & redistribute the source) instead of taking it away (using something that you can't learn about & change but have to pay other people to do it for you). There's a lot more to it than that, as well. If you're interested I can send you the GNU manifeto, it is interesting & enlightening reading.

Hey Crew, could one of you do me a favor? Could somebody please e-mail the most recent release dates Rephlex has published in Jockey Slut? It turns up VERY late here if at all and is a very difficult find.

this is the last I've heard: CAT???EP/CD Bochum Welt - Feelings on a Screen to be released february 10(?), 1997 CAT???EP/? Bochum Welt - ??? (limited edition EP - 4 tracks) to be released february 10(?), 1997 That date has come and gone though. One of these is likely to have a remix by Like a Tim from Djax Up Beats. BTW, how difficult is it to find the older B. Welt material in Germany? I'd like to get some of the stuff I don't have.

i have compiled a new BW WWW "official" resource, which is undergoing final review and editing by gianluigi as we speak. the information i tell here is on those pages (+ much more). the URL will be published this week. (feels like an out of body experience, me posting an answer about a WWW page like this to Gonzi. ;-> )

unexpected delays have pushed this release date back to march. the Like a Tim remixes will happen, but will be released separately (later this year) on Rephlex. the limited release of outtakes described in earlier rephlex ads has been scrapped. however, there will be a very exciting extra with one of the formats!!!!

some of it is downright impossible, others not so tough. i know that hardwax had the kromode "Les Dances d Etes" a few months ago. it's ace, and is recommended highly. sweet, crunchy elektro overlaying the trademark BW dark ambience. you should also still be able to obtain the phial EP, telestatt and JX1. good luck on the voder and introspektiv though.
