about
I have a great affection for found sound material … for the gritty distortion and electronic artifacts of radio and television broadcasts, the over-amplified flotsam of popular culture. And I prefer to focus my compositional attention on creating processes and defining interactions, letting the musical “details” emerge from the performer’s interaction with the musical process, rather than using the computer to more perfectly and rigidly realize a piece of music. I use a variety of interfaces (the mouse, electric guitar and pitch follower, a dataglove) as a means to reach in and take part in the musical processes I define in the software.
All of the pieces on this CD were written (in the ‘C’ programming language) between 1988 and 1992. They run on an Amiga computer, and make extensive use of that computer’s 8-bit internal audio hardware. Although admittedly “lo-fi,” it’s been a very flexible and cheap sampler, allowing me to do some tricks that I couldn’t do (until recently) with commercial samplers.
