<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1: Analog or Digital?<\/p>\n
Digital for making music, analog for listening to it. It’s hard to beat the combination of an old tube stereo amp and a good turntable. <\/p>\n
2: What time did you wake up today?<\/p>\n
9:30am<\/p>\n
3: Last thing you read?<\/p>\n
I’m currently working on Spaces Speak, Are You Listening? \/ Experiencing Aural Architecture by Blesser and Salter<\/p>\n
4: What’s your first memory?<\/p>\n
I have lots of memories from way back, hard to know what was first. I remember flying on an airplane for the first time and my ears not being able to pop (I would have been a year and a half old). I also have a clear memory of a stained glass mobile above my bed\/crib. I have lots of memories of songs on the radio at that time, and remember being in a record store with my mom when the Eagles’ Long Run album had just been released (I’d have been 2.5yo). There was a cardboard display of Kiss records that totally terrified me. <\/p>\n
5: Tea Or Coffee?<\/p>\n
Tea all the way, no coffee. <\/p>\n
6: Last thing you cooked?<\/p>\n
Eggs over easy with tempeh bacon, some kind of polenta\/quinoa mix and a watercress salad. <\/p>\n
7: If you’re reborn who or what would you like to be?<\/p>\n
Hmm…. Something with an inconceivable degree of consciousness would certainly satisfy a lot of curiosity, or at the other end of things, maybe a golden retriever since they always seem to be enjoying themselves. <\/p>\n
8: What inspires you?<\/p>\n
Art that is totally transportive and\/or revelatory. People who genuinely care about what they are doing and do it well, without compromising for other interests. People who can play the hell out of an instrument. <\/p>\n
9: Last record you played?<\/p>\n
Enlightenment by McCoy Tyner<\/p>\n
10: Favorite piece of musical equipment?<\/p>\n
That’s really tough. I picked up a Korg MS-10 earlier this year, which has been super addictive and inspiring to work with, but my Farfisa organ probably wins as the most magical piece I own. I’ve been wanting to get a harmonium for years, which I think could beat those out if I ever go for it. <\/p>\n
11: Last movie you saw?<\/p>\n
I tried to re-watch most of Kagaaz Ke Phool by Guru Dutt on Youtube the other day. Amazing film, though I wish there was a better quality physical release of it out there. <\/p>\n
12: Who do you love?<\/p>\n
Amazing friends and family.<\/p>\n
13: Do you have any pets?<\/p>\n
I wish, but I can’t commit. I love being around other people’s pets.<\/p>\n
14: Are you useful?<\/p>\n
I hope so. I’m a pretty great facilitator, I know that. <\/p>\n
15: Biggest fear?<\/p>\n
Infinity <\/p>\n
16: What do you value the most?<\/p>\n
Integrity and honesty. People who are considerate and self-aware. <\/p>\n
17: Famous last words?<\/p>\n
I’m not sure about famous, but I’d bet that “hey guys, watch this” is pretty common.<\/p>\n
