Something To Think About

An awful lot of music justifies itself on how sophisticated the technology is, but me, I don’t give a damn about the sophistication of the technology. I care about the music and the only way I can get to the music is to be responsible for every sound that’s there – and that means it has to be me doing it in real time.
