The prompt was to choose a sentence which described your musical practice, record yourself saying the sentence and use it as your only sound source.

I recently acquired a SOMA Cosmos drifting memory station, which acts as a type of looper. The left and right channels contain discreet loops which fall out of sync, drift and blur together. The unit also includes a granular mode and something SOMA calls a giant reverb. 

When I read the prompt, I immediately remembered an online convo I had with someone last year where they humorously described their own practice. While funny, it also fairly described one that I use quite often.

So for this piece, I recorded it in the three following parts, each into the Cosmos and on to the DAW: 

F'd Around
Until I Heard
Something I Liked

Once there, I added some reverb, eq and compression. I hope you like the result.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
