Re: [microsound] oren ambarchi stuffs

[jeff gburek <tsazmaniac@xxxxxxxxx>]

i like oren's work generally. and i like that gear
stands out in the open. a lot of what we do depends on
what we can afford and how far we will tweak it. the
rafael toral i have heard did not seem to use effects
or computers much. i have to admit i don't understand
the massive popularity of mr. fennesz however. i have
the so-called "field recordings" but find it mostly to
sound a lot like the grizzly fizzly drizzly stuff i
have made with guitar & computer in the first moments
that i don't find very interesting. (which is not to
say i haven't had some breakthroughs in the past
months...)
