I am a member of ImprovFriday which has been occasionally mentioned on this
mailing list http://improvfriday.ning.com/
- which is a site devoted to improvisations, instant composing and mash ups
/ re-compositions.
People submit individual works and also recombine pieces or sound sources
submitted to create "mash-ups" or "re-compositions".
I made a *very* abstract "re-composition" of nearly every piece submitted
last week
(list of composers / pieces I used

The name *Carbon Corpse* came from two monologs heard in the piece - one
discussing the pro and cons of being a carbon-based life form and another of
a woman interjecting mortality into everyday life events by referring to
people as "cadavers".
Not long after I posted the piece Diek ( Diego Monroy) made a video of
Carbon Corpse and posted it on Vimeo.

I really like it because it looks very organic at times - and is driven by
the sound.

Enjoy I hope!
