Well, if he _is_ controlling any MIDI stuff with his bass it's certainly
nothing that you can tell from just listening to the music. It WOULD be
interesting to find out if some of the more chaotic, free time moments
were done using that approach. But I don't see how that would
make it similar to MIRON !? There is a lot of processed bass though, which
has been a constant element in his tracks.

Well, from the beginning his tracks have been full of bass and jazzy
touches (check out "Smedleys Melody" on FMWT for a really overt
example). Those early 12"s on Spymania are very fusiony. Imo, if Go
Plastic has similarities to MIRON it's more with those concrete type
tracks on that album rather than the fusiony ones.
