Re: [microsound] Derivative Music

["mat.the.w" <craque@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sound for me is a fabric of life, so I take sounds for what they are in
whatever context I am and apply them to however I need them. How's that for
a Cagean answer.

I'm fascinated by popular music. And at the same time, I have a genuine love
for the freedom of sound and the opening of ears to the possibilities of new
things. Our interests and experiences shape our creative subconscious.

My answer is that I approach all music making as a sonic exploration, really
disregarding any attention on medium or style, so that it does all function
as challenging listening. In whatever context, I am always trying to expand
notions and expectations of sound and music.

The special challenge is being able to do that and get people's heads to bob
at the same time...
