Quoting:
What are a few of your all-time favorite synths?
I go through phases in some ways, but there are a few that have been long standing essentials for me. First has to be the EMS Synthi A...
I programmed the corners of the ranges for the joystick to control osc1 (x axis pitch) and osc2 (y axis pitch) to make up the various chords, while using the volume out of osc3 manually to blend in a fixed, lower note. The ability to flux the notes into freeform chaos during the transitions and then snap them into the next chord was really only possible with the joystick.
Can you recount one of your favorite memories from performing live?
It’s mostly been a drunken blur, like a 35 year psychedelic episode, where everything runs together in a stream of color and light and friendship and fear and appreciation. Playing live has been so many different things for me over the years—being a kid singer guitarist in a goth band, being a drummer in a touring indie rock band or two, then being in LCD.
What advice would you give to someone who isn't sure what their path is?
Ruthlessly expand yourself culturally. Read everything you can. Go to the bookstore at a good university where you aren’t a student and look at the course assigned readings. Read some shit you’ve never heard of. Listen to people who know better than you. Trust your taste. Find people who make you feel like you’re alive. This way, no matter what happens, you haven’t wasted your life.
