I think that electronic music mirrors the complexity of "information landscapes." You carry the terrain in your mind.
DJ SpookyThere is a complexity and layering that goes on with this kind of thing, so the music is slightly repetitive and when I say repetitive it's in the same tradition as people like Steve Reich or Erik Satie or even WC.
DJ SpookyIn fact, if you look at the root word of phonograph it just means phonetics of graphology, phono-graph, writing with sound, so graphology. You know graffiti, same root word.
DJ SpookyTry this experiment: one day go in a record store and just try and guess what the music sounds like by looking at the album cover.
