FLUXRECORDS opus 179 "The remarkable Wolferl from Austria had the insight to take some Johannes Brahms. And we did some contemplation. Wolfgang invented some melodic guitar around the sample while I was busy expressing the spirit of this conversation over the centuries through some filtering on the sample. Now you've got to light a candle for this one."

FLUXRECORDS opus 10 "This purely acoustic track score for a theatre piece does some complex permutations with a motif from Bruckner's 7th symphony. So complex in fact, that I can no longer recall any of them. The score originally called for an additional instrument but the player never made it to the recoding studio in Cologne."

FLUXRECORDS opus 14 "If you look at the piano keyboard and you play all the keys from the lowest note on the left up to the highest note on the right, you move in half-tones. Ever since childhood I wondered what would happen if I had multiple pianos that were tuned slightly apart in a smaller interval than a half-tone. I would then be able to play micro tonal music. When I first heard the work of the obscure Russian composer Ivan Wyschnegradsky, who used the quarter tone system, I was deeply moved. "How small can micro intervals be devised and what kind of effect will this produce?", I wondered. I had to wait many years before I could realize this with Mirco Micro. Here, now, are 16,383 pianos, tuned 1/41 of a cent apart. An algorithm chose a piano and played one note on it then moved on to others -- starting with pianos very close together -- trying to describe a perfect arch."

FLUXRECORDS opus 58 "Primitivism, Techno-Shamanism, Ethno-Tech. In its early history mankind probably relied on what Edward B. Tayler calls a Gesture-Language. Sonic vocalization and the sounds of objects as man hit them are related. There is also a connection between repetition and permanence. The only way to be certain of the existence of anything is to witness or bring about its appearance again. To repeat a sequence of anything establishes a rhythm and is man's innate god-like ability to say "I am that I am"."

FLUXRECORDS opus 282 "Primitivism, Techno-Shamanism, Ethno-Tech. In its early history mankind, which originated in Africa, probably relied on what Edward B. Tayler calls a Gesture-Language.

FLUXRECORDS opus 239 "Infrared radiation is primarily "heat", or thermal, radiation and can be found below the visible light spectrum. As such it can neither be seen nor heard and therefore has been the object of much speculation especially by someone who Plotinus described in 250 AD as a musician. "The musician we may think of as being exceedingly quick to beauty, drawn in a very rapture to it: somewhat slow to stir of his own impulse, he answers at once to the outer stimulus: as the timid are sensitive to noise so he to tones and the beauty they convey; all that offends against unison or harmony in melodies and rhythms repels him; he longs for measure and shapely pattern.[sic]" These apparently shapely patterns found in the invisible spheres have always been difficult to materialize in this world as they may contain the harmony of the spheres, which in turn will give anyone who discovers them the key to the universe. So in an alchemical attempt to synthesize this harmony, I began with pure sawtooth waveforms that appear and disappear according to a kind of Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. They are in a field of probability. The waves therefore begin to develop a rhythm and if tuned to a Pythagorean scale of pure ratio intervals, they will develop a changing relationship like that between overtones. The waves in Infrared Space Observatory are undergoing constantly changing very narrow-width bandpass filtering and so exposing different overtones of the sawtooth waves over time and thus move in spheres around an imaginary center both harmonically and rhythmically. The mystery of the harmony of the spheres may indeed lie in whatever is next on the probable event horizon."

FLUXRECORDS opus 267

FLUXRECORDS opus 55 "Based on a 12 bar cycle, Tribe 251 is full of complex number relations and very primitive."

FLUXRECORDS opus 185 "A very complex computation with a very simple result. How quiet can you get?"

FLUXRECORDS opus 197 "None of my studios had air-conditioning. During the summers the heat would produce artifacts and some machines started to function incorrectly. It was always too hot to figure out the cause and the only thing left was to turn off the machine in question. Except for one day. The DSP256 started to produce sounds on its own. Turning it off and then back on again would only produce a different set of sounds. A new form of heat-induced synthesis was born."

FLUXRECORDS opus 48 "In New Orleans I went to Marie Laveau's house. It's a gift shop now where Pop eats itself."
