Knobs and speakers were good enough for some of the most brilliant sonic
artists ever, and they're plenty good enough for me too. They also have
the benefit of being tactile and spontaneously creative, unlike clickey
screeney uninspiring computer staring nonsense. Feel free to spend your
time on screen things, but I would much rather spend my time on sound
things. It's sort of the whole point...
Ears are not separated from the body. Not only am I interested into the
convergence of audio and graphics but also touch. This basically is what my
Android app is about. Aside of that I've worked with a painter on an artistic
project which consists in a dialog between painting and music. That affects my
point of view. Also, the feelings I get when I touch and see my guitar have a
great influence on what I play. And I'm certainly not the only one.
