Re: [MMM] Partch again (was Re: sampling, continued)

Jon--

First off, who is Harry Partch? (This is probably going to get me kicked
out of the room, isn't it?)

Second-- yes, sometimes, the gear can suggest paths, but not (for me) in
the same way as you suggest. It works like this for me:

1) see some gear
2) wonder how I could utilise it more fully, possibly as an instument in
itself
3) experiment, understand, incorporate
4) from here, move on to coneptualizing an idea, back to original path

Recently, I have been trying to see if I can "play" my digital recorder.
This has been interesting to do things it was never really meant to do,
but I can't record on it while I do them. So I have to record onto
something else while I play. It feels funny to tell your wife that you
can't record the cool song you just made because you had to play the
recorder to get it. Then again, it is good justification to get another!
*laughs, knowing this is NOT happening*
