And blurring the lines between the creator and the person experiencing the creation. The interaction between an artist and his tools. The blurry non-measurable line between sentient (intelligent) beings and complex algorithms (A.I.). The concept for this EP comes from an amalgamation of ideas that are just stuck in my head and that never cease to fascinate me. Tell us more about the process and experiences with this! #In your release "Fantasy Mansion" you built a device that does not only play back your EP, it is also an instrument for the listener to experiment and play with. I then heat the powder to 50 000° and hey presto out comes a short melody or drum loop that usually sucks.

Other times I just sit down naked in a cold dark room in front of a candle, close my eyes and embark on a 3 week spirit-seek of the inner mind-sphere. An example of this is the track Cloth that grew out of a midi controlled, sound reactive GLSL shader. Sometimes I can start of by making something completely other than a musical instrument that goes on to inspire me to make a track. That might be why I've taken to releasing generative works that never finish generating themselves. I never quite feel that something is finished. When it comes to the "finished product" that’s a little bit more tricky. Sometimes I can go through iterations of refining or entirely redesigning an instrument before the musical piece is completed. By designing the tools I use to express myself I feel a closer affinity to the final work. I like the idea of starting one abstraction layer further down. But more often than not it starts with designing an instrument or software or algorithm. I try to mix it up a little bit when it comes to the creative process. #How is your creative process from idea to finished product? #Which song/tune fits your working situation right now and why?Ĥ′33″ by John Cage because the kids are sleeping and it’s not likely to wake them up.
