Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
Brian EnoI'd rather hold one note for an hour and modulate it so that it means something than play 3,000 notes in 15 seconds.
Brian EnoI mostly used the studio devices, because I knew what they had. Generally I find I'm happy to use whatever's around. If there's nothing there I'll make something. For example, one of the things I tried doing was getting a tiny loudspeaker and feeding the instruments off the tape through this tiny speaker and then through this huge long plastic tube - about 50 feet long - that they used to clean out the swimming pool in the place where I was staying. You get this really hollow, cavernous, weird sound, a very nice sound. We didn't use it finally, but nonetheless we well could have.
