===============================================================
EMUSIC is a complementary pair of lists, EMUSIC-L and EMUSIC-D,
both devoted to the discussion of Electronic Music. The intent
of the lists is to provide as open a forum as possible, while
allowing the subscriber to actively choose the degree of
participation, based on particular interests in any attendant
sub-topic.
The list EMUSIC-L is organized as an open conversation, with
all input immediately distributed to the subscribers.
Discussions on this list change rapidly, can be brief or long-
winded, and range from aesthetics to technology.
The list EMUSIC-D is a digest, and tends more toward a question
and answer format. At times, if a topic seems to be likely to
spin off from the main threads of discussion, the editor will
recommend that it be transferred to the conversational list.
In no case is dual subscription necessary. All input to
EMUSIC-D is passed directly to EMUSIC-L, and relevant
information generated there is edited into the digest. Both
lists are actively monitored and moderated.
ALLMUSIC @ AUVM
This list is dedicated to the discussion of all forms of music,
in all its aspects. Its founding is based on the understanding
that most people who listen to and enjoy music do so from a
variety of standpoints, and that a general, unlimited forum is
desirable for both the integration and expansion of musical
ideas, techniques, and understanding. Therefore, all topics
having to do with music are welcome, including but not limited
to: composition, performance, recording; research, critique,
inquiry, advocacy; instrument design, ethnomusicology,
psychacoustics, orchestration; jazz, classical, funk,
plainchant; and anything else you can think of. If a topic is
running that you have something to say about, or to question,
jump in. If you have something entirely different in mind,
start up another thread. Music is universal. With the advent
of electronic communication, so are we.
LITERARY @ UCF1VM
LITERARY is a list for any lover of literature. Discussions
will include favorite authors, favorite works, literary styles,
criticisms, etc. (in fact, basically anything you can think of
regarding literature, unless postings become too numerous).
Postings from scholars as well as interested parties are
welcome.
AMNESTY @ JHUVM
This list distributes Amnesty International's urgent action
appeals, usually one per month. They are 1 or 2-page summaries
of a specific case of human rights abuse, such as a small group
of people who have been arrested wihtout reason, or are being
held secretly, or tortured, etc. They give the prisoners'
names, why they were arrested, who to write to, and what they
suggest you say.
Amnesty International is concerned with human rights, not just
amnesty. Sometimes they ask members to write letters
requesting not freedom, but better or more just treatment.
You don't have to be a member of or endorse Amnesty
International to receive this list. Additional discussion or
info from other organizations may be distributed.
