i found this fascinating. laurie has been around synths and electronic
music since its inception, literally in the places where the innovation was
happening at places like bell labs, working with morton subotnick, playing
on actual mainframe music making computers, the works... and at heart being
a guitar strumming folk musician, the sheer breadth and depth of this
interview and the concepts that she expresses, i dunno... you should really
read it if you are interested in what a really incredibly educated musician
thinks of the evolution of electronics and music.
