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


Altitude Sickness performs multi-dimensional mash-ups using self-assembled Monome tupperware. He samples across an eclectic vibrational spectrum - both rooted in western water music and driven by eastern exploration. Obsessed with developing new tools for interfacing with digital music, Altitude Sickness often finds himself juggling both beats and hardware on stage.
