I'm interested in what happens when time, sound and space are explored together. Inseparable elements, but formal European thought does not really seem to acknowledge this ... I was fascinated by the sonic vocabulary enabled by the reel-to-reel tape recorder and its successor technology -- tools that could manipulate and shape sound like nothing else. Most records I intuitively love involve this sort of treatment -- from
Elvis Presley
's
Heartbreak Hotel
to
The Ronettes
to
Terry Riley
to
Donna Summer
's 'I Feel Love' and so many more
