i wouldn't defend schematic even though i do like my coffee stained copy of _ischemic folks_ all right, but without having even heard these tracks, i would suppose that they are probably meant to be this way: i.e. the same sounds might be used from composition to composition, but so what, if you get to actually explore these sounds & it works. mondrian took the same basic 4 colors in the same exact sort of structure & it worked. the richie devine sound works? why change it? or at least this is what i think he thinks. that said, i'm not advocating this working process as it does lead to often boring results. justifying art doesn't make it any less boring when it is boring to start with. but you're all the better for understanding the motive. blah blah blah blah as if anyone cares. :) ~ david --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
