Subj; net.music.synth to IRCAM?

	I personally would love to be involved in a discussion with
the IRCAM folks.

	BUT, I'm not so sure that our discussions would be of much
interest to them.

	IRCAM has some impressive musicians and technicians working
there.  They certainly aren't going to be interested in questions
about how to hook up your new Casio to a drum machine.

	NO sarcasm intended here - I mean it literally - What is
the reasoning behind forwarding net.music.synth to IRCAM?  Can you
imagine a mutually satisfying dialog developing?

	Possibly, a separate newsgroup should be established.  As
I said, I *love* the idea of a dialog with IRCAM, but I fear that
the (useful to us) theoretically/aesthetically/technically trival
discussions of   - 'What synth under $1k to buy?', or 'Has anyone
played on a Juno-106?'  - will leave them flat.

	Can we rise to the challenge?  I think the rewards would
be great.
