about

Jennifer Lucy Allan:
……..”I'm after sound out of place. At root there remains something elusive about the specific joys of absurdities in moments of language, image and sound that I find in much of both the music and the comedy I love. These instants are like balloons: they go up, bright and buoyant, but to pull them down and examine them, means they are liable to burst or deflate.”

Han Bennick:
“Most of the time, I got hired by young bebop players. They wanted me to play fucking time. After a while, I like to destroy it, also. I like to go a different direction, which is not what they expect.”

Jon Hassell:
“I’ve always said that style evolves from what you can’t do.”

Miles Davis:
"I think it's time people changed where they put the melody," he went on. "The melody can be in the bass, or a drum sound, or just a sound. I may write something around one chord. I may write something around a rhythm."

Electronic music potential has always been an amorphous peg trying to fit in a square hole. It has been the unpredictable fringe stallion lassoed into conventional format.
