I found the link to this GREAT interview on beepsnort.
It was posted there by Joe (our Joseph Benzola, I guess).
It's very, very interesting!
Thanks Joe Very Happy

This is what he says to present it:

yes... that is the one.

Nice one. perhaps a bit too much into techno/trance. She is missing most of what is going on by focusing on this.. but the movie is OK. Do you want to borrow it??

You can also see the same tendencies in that interview. She is trying to push him into another franwork, and he is resisting it and instead chattering away about his own stuff in his own way. The interview was great because this resistance from the interviewer really makes the guy talk about his own visions.

Some aspects of the interview kind of explains why I like analog / modular synths and stuff. Well, I share many of his ideas and I can relate to how he looks at his tools.

The same site where you found the Macero interview has a lot of other great interviews too.

Check out the Holger Czukay interview about CAN. They did "Soon Over Babaluma" on two tracks. HAHAHA! Excellent! That one is one of my ultimate favorites.

The laura Lee documentary, Modulations, is quite good. But she ends up with techno/trance and she is really missing out on a lot. She uses a lot of interviews of guys like Robert Moog and connects all this with techno.
I have nothing against techno and trance, but she kind of rewrites history too much. There are several major trends she misses. On particular is how art music/avant garde inspires the early UK industrial music movement and interconnects with the rebirth of ambient and electronic ensemble music. And as far as I can remember she also really forgets a lot of american music and I don´t think she even mentions Mother Mallard´s.

On the other hand, she does mention Can and Holger Czukay etc.
This means she has read the Cope book I guess. Very Happy

Hmm... which path is that? Satisfying poor women only? Shocked

Seems like it!

I know quite a few musicans who are married to women who make most of the money.

But to go searching for a rich wife! Sounds like a plot for a Walt Disney movie from the '60's! Razz
