Back in the 80`s my partner and I owned a recording studio in Brooklyn, and we were deeply involved with the Hip Hop scene and the experimental downtown crowd. It was mainly Yoram Vazan, my partner, who was and still is an accomplished mixing engineer, that was working with musicians such as Elliott Sharp, Arto Lindsey, John Zorn, Fred Frith and many others. One of the musicians who is still making cutting edge innovative music using tools such as Max MSP to experiment with live as you could hear here is Ikue Mori, who had moved to NYC back in 1977 from her native city of Tokyo, and formed DNA, and has been experimenting with drum machines triggering samples and sounds and manipulating it live ever since. This is a piece with Julianna Barwick on vocal manipulation.
