the generative methods used on confield did not exist for tri repetae. the
gear used was much less sophisticated, so more direct human control was
needed to produce the music. whereas on confield, much of what you're
hearing was actually determined by a set of algorithms (particularly true
for their live sets this year). i like the analogy of painting versus
fractal. i think in the future, this will be done in real time as you
listen to the music, possibly even evolving over time into something else
entirely. you'd never quite hear the same piece of music twice.
