Right, straight from the horse's mouth for you all, as Tom explained in the
"Mixing It" interview ...
Interviewer " Interesting title Tom, 'Music is Rotted One Note" sounds like
a Shakespearian quote?"
Tom - "What it relates to is a conversation I had with Sean from Autechre
(which by the way, he pronounced Au teck er !), where basically I was
expressing the fact that I kind of was a really big fan of yoghourt and
cheese and stuff but really didn't like milk and Sean made the comparison
of music being a "rotted" form of a single tone, or one note as it were ...
I like the music but not the one note ... and cheese but not the milk ..."
So there you have it folks, the mystery revealed ... and I knew that Tom's
a veggie but obviously not a vegan!
