<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1: Analog or Digital?
\nInspired by analog but very dependent on digital.<\/p>\n
2: What time did you wake up today?
\n9:30am to hit snooze and barricade the cats from the bedroom. So I could then sleep until 10am.<\/p>\n
3: Last thing you read?
\n“A Splendid Conspiracy” by Albert Cossery<\/p>\n
4: Whats your first memory?
\nA dream that involved a swamp, a row boat, and a group of hooded “small people”.<\/p>\n
5: Tea Or Coffee?
\nCoffee in the USA and tea when I’m in Asia.<\/p>\n
6: Last thing you cooked?
\nNoodles with ground pork and mushrooms marinated in sake, soy sauce and a dash of agave. Tossed with a ton of cumin, scallions, and basil.<\/p>\n
7: If you\u2019re reborn who or what would you like to be?
\nMulder and Scully.<\/p>\n
8: What inspires you?
\nPeople willing to share knowledge and those brave enough (like Aaron Swartz) to speak out against it being institutionalized and made available to just the privileged few.<\/p>\n
9: Last record you played?
\nFela Kuti’s “Black President”.<\/p>\n
10: Favorite piece of musical equipment?
\nRight now it’s my Octatrack, but the violin feels connected to my core in a way that no sampler or sequencer ever will.<\/p>\n
11: Last movie you saw?
\n“In the Heat of the Night” and by the time you read this Chris Marker’s “Level Five.”<\/p>\n
12: Who do you love?
\nAlbert. And my mom.<\/p>\n
13: Do you have any pets?
\nTwo cats, Vincent Price and Roland Kirk.<\/p>\n
14: Are you useful?
\nSupposedly I’m good at math.<\/p>\n
15: Biggest fear?
\nThat we as a society won’t realize that\u00a0when it comes to the environment, Ebola, militarized cops, the criminalization of journalism, and genocide\u2014neutrality is no longer an option. Silence does not make one un-accountable.<\/p>\n
16: What do you value the most?
\nHonesty.<\/p>\n
17: Famous last words?
\nBorrowed words from Diamanda Gal\u00e1s: “Were you a witness?”<\/p>\n
