Kim Cascone has a long history involving electronic music: he received his formal training in electronic music at the Berklee College of Music in the early 1970's, and in 1976 continued his studies with Dana McCurdy at the New School in New York City.

In the 1980's, after moving to San Francisco and gaining experience as an audio technician, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on both Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart. More

Kim Cascone also seems to be a reader of my weblog ! He once wrote me an email, because of some broken links. Because of his email, I became aware of his brilliant microsound mailinglist:

.microsound is an unmediated mailing list oriented toward discussion of the styles of digital and post-digital music promulgated by the proliferation and widespread adoption of digital signal processing (dsp) tools.

.microsound is not a "genre" mailing list, since this proliferation has occurred largely without regard for stylistic boundary. instead, .microsound presents itself as a forum for the discussion and exploration of a more general "digital aesthetic" manifesting across a wide variety of styles and disciplines -- from academic computer music to post-industrial noise to experimental ambient and post-techno.

Andrey Savitsky
The microsound mailinglist has allready servered as a great resource for new and interesting music. Because of the list, I became aware of Andrey Savitsky from Belarus (german: Weissrussland) who makes microsound, using the name hhtp. Make sure to download hhtp.and.evelindomnitch.mp3
