Before that, an 8-bit recording was pixelated; it was really bad. It didn't serve what I was doing, which was recording live sound and delaying it and feeding it back. This is essentially what the EIS system is: a bunch of delays.

I try to schedule the Intensives wherever I go.

That change happened about 1991. It was not possible to transfer the Expanded Instrument System to the computer until then, when 16-bit recording became available.

It might be fun to have audience members wander up the ramps as well, so they can listen from different vantage points.

I got very interested in attention and awareness and how to achieve certain states through understanding this.

When I composed the first sonic meditation, I realized that I was composing the direction of attention.

I had a lot of good times. I had a lot of fun. I liked what I was doing, so I just kept doing it. At the Tape Music Center, I was working from midnight to four in the morning. Because then it was quiet, nobody was there, and I could just do my work. I didn't have to fool around.
