Music about Music!

An issue which constantly occupies my mind is: What is a musical experience? In where lies the essence of a sound, as to become a tool for the captivation of human emotion?

	Working with a Sampler is basically recording any sound from any source that I come across. Sampling mostly Vinyl-segments or recording "Open Air" acoustic ambience.

	Sometimes finding myself creating a potentially challenging & disturbing sound, setting a stage for exploring challenging soundscape possibilities for a mind-twisting & captivating sound tool. Then I enjoy the process of where I slowly let the sound grow on me, to the point where all my old preferences & perceptions are gradually being realigned or re-twisted. Driven by a morbid curiosity of challenging my perception of what I might want to "make work" in a process of creation. This creative freedom implies a certain existential responsibility for me, as to what I might choose to indulge.

	The "sampling concept" has to me been an excellent tool for the broadening of my music experience. I like to call myself a Post Modern "Sound Pirate".
Stealing or recycling any sound I come across & creating new experiences of old memories, times & places". This is my vision! Totally freeing my creativity from the harsh reality of the "Grand Theft Sound" being  in progress. In one sense, it´s a Music license Nightmare, but on the other a hand the results are timeless & classic.
                                                                                                                 Auh Soj aka Joshua Lindgren
