Hi, my name is Nic, and I am 15 years old. I am getting into pure data, and am now into a state of familiarity with the PD interface and common synthesis methods, along with most of the basic ideas and knowledge needed to begin patching. I have received quite a bit of help from the #dataflow irc channel, so everyone from the chat also on this list, I would like to say thank you! :)
Anyway, the reason I am posting to this list is to ask about the techniques used in the genre known as microsound, which is explained in brief detail at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsound
I would like to learn the sort of techniques I can use in PD in application for the genre, since it seems ideal for such music, since you can work directly on a sample-by-sample basis. Also, if anyone here has firsthand experience in the genre, suggestions on books, media, and examples would be greatly appreciated!
I apologize if this email is a bit forward, or is not correctly formatted for use in mailing list. This is my first time posting to a mailing list, so let me know if I did something incorrectly and I would be very thankful.
Thank you for taking the time to respond!

I've found it hard to find audio example of the music? Have you any good examples?
Best of luck!

Hi Nic, for what I read about it, I think microsound, isn't really a Genre, but more a technique. There are diferent ways to go using "microsounds", for instance one of the most used/known is the granular synthesis. You can search some stuff from Curtis Roads, he made a lot of digital granular synthesis, and he also has some books about it. I am sure more people in here will have more insight than me to explain how to use microsounds on your music.
Best of luck in your journey
