[net.music.synth] Chroma foundation inquiry / Oblique Strategies

acsgjjp@sunybcs.UUCP (Jim Poltrone) (07/30/85)

A few years ago, I noticed in Keyboard Magazine an advertisement pertaining to
the proposal of a new notation for electronic music.  I have not heard any
followups at all concerning the new notation, which was handled by "The Chroma
Foundation", based around Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada).  Does anyone
know if their survey is finished, if they are still looking for ideas, or
if the Foundation has disbanded?

Also, someone mentioned Brian Eno's and Peter Schmidt's "Oblique Strategies" 
about two months ago.  Would someone be able to mail them all to me, so that 
they may be used in a "joke"-type program (draws one at random, just as they 
are supposed to be done)?  (I heard that the card sets are out of print.)

Thanks in advance.
