The computer does things that can't be done with hardware, like freezing sounds.

The computer does things that can't be done with hardware, like freezing sounds.

Unfortunately I've gotten more resistance in the last year than I ever have.

I've got a bunch of circuit-bent boxes and things that are controlled by my Mac through a big breakout box. I want to create this total environment where I can bring all this gear to the show but maybe just use one or two elements, if that's what's called for.

It's funny, because I'm so associated with digital art and computer art, and yet I spend so little time in front of the computer.

I see someone play, or I listen to a record, and I think, "How did they make that sound?' It's not emulation; it's more building a vocabulary that can be called up at a moment's notice.

I think Pro Tools is pretty analogous to how people composed music on tape back in the 70s, taking little fragments of things and saying, 'How can we organize these in a sensible way'?
