These WAV files are the first in a series of incorporating
sounds of Native American music into the computer
enviornment.

We are using 44 Mhz, at 8 bits: low filter.
Recorded using a SONY PROFESSIONAL WALKMAN (excellent)
and SOUND BLASTER PRO sound card for the PC (nearly adequate).

The sound volume and quality in this type
of technology is nowhere as good as your
stero system: however, good works all have a 
beginning.

For the average computer system equipped with sound
capabilities, these files represent a new step in
the communications of tribal peoples with the computer 
age.

While a few of these sounds are recorded from 
commercial recordings: most are from on-the-spot
recording made during actual ceremonies and
gatherings: they are not "studio" productions:
they are "field" productions.

Using the Microsoft SOUND EDITOR which can be
activated bt double-click of the mouse on any
WAV file via FILE MANAGER will activate
the WAV editor and these sounds may be
shortened, linked and manipulated in a few
other ways.

The files are offered as an experiment and comments
are invited: not as a "finished" product.

The goal of AICAP is the inclusion of interested
traditional native peoples in the computer
process.
