sound expanse

I first heard of John Tyndall through Alvin Lucier's piece, Tyndall Orchestrations, which is based on a set of experiments in his book, Sound. So I was very pleasantly surprised to come across this book by chance on Distributed Proofreaders, a site where many volunteers prepare ebooks to be posted at Project Gutenberg. I became more and more fascinated with this book, and signed it out for post-processing.

Now the html version is finally nearly finished. But "nearly finished" can be a long and drawn out stage of any process. I've been fixing it up, rescanning illustrations that were not of high enough quality, and just generally trying to get it right. But I'm sure there are things I have missed. Over at Distributed Proofreaders, there is a process called smoothreading. People can read through a project before it is posted, to point out any errors that have been overlooked.

This book is so great, and so incredibly relevant to experimental music, that I thought I would post it here, as well as on DP. If any of you have a bit of time to look a section or a chapter over and find anything that needs fixing, could you please let me know? I'm planning to submit it in two weeks, around October 24th, so there is a little time. Once it's posted, it will be widely, permanently, and freely available to anyone.

Here is the link, still on my own server space:

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. And any input would be much appreciated.
