If you think of the way a composer or say a pop arranger works - he has an idea and he writes it down, so there's one transmission loss. Then he gives the score to a group of musicians who interpret that, so there's another transmission loss. So he's involved with three information losses. Whereas what I nearly always do is work directly to the sound if it doesn't sound right. So there's a continuous loop going on.
Brian EnoThe idea that something is uncool because itโs old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian EnoMost of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.
