so you may be forgiven for asking why i'm pissing my time away on piano playing robots rather than writing new rave-hits. the answer is: i'm bored of computer music. ironic hypocrisy since i was only able to start my career because of cheap pcs and free software, but when something becomes very common it loses value, and the sound of plugins and presets currently sets my teeth on edge - there's a sort of cynical coldness to an emotional moment that's been constructed with a mouse. anyway, i'm not pissing away too much time as i have a teenage soldering sweatshop set up, which leaves me plenty of time to get on with music / look at matrix-synth.
