Welcome Derek-
Its a pleasure to have you join our discussion. (Derek is an
accomplished field recordist, composer, installation artist-- a
passionate explorer of sound where ever that takes him.)
soundtransit.nl is indicative of the distribution base of his
interests and I encourage folks on this list representing so many
places and sonic experiences to take some time and connect with
others through soundtransit.nl.
What do you recommend as the best way for folks to get files "hosted"
to be linked to soundtransit.nl? Many folks don't currently have a
site etc. I assume you'd like the files to be as permanently located
as possible. Also, the formats, if any, you recommend.Rob D.
