They’re now making software to generate sound. Is that less human than playing an instrument or more human than using existing software? Maybe because I studied philosophy or maybe just because of the way my mind works, I find these questions more interesting than the music. I like listening to music – I’m obsessed by music – but it inspires a response in me, not a creative thought.

ugh

cool, interesting interview imo.  Especially the bits about working on syro

So I asked the people in the studio to make seventy-two attempts at a perfect circle, some with paintbrushes, some were done with felt tip pens. So whenever you see a circle on one of the different formats, every one of them’s different. Every label’s different, every cover’s different, every different format is different.

nice

a nice read. i like the details about the making of the things.  "we have these conversations, but they really aren't necessary"
