PS: "In terms of realizing an idea for the composition is there an advantage
for the composer in being able to create an instrument (circuit bending, etc.)?"


EL: "Definitely. I think that humans react to a lot of different things about
music, but a big part of that is a certain Neophilia (something a mentor of
mine, Larry Polansky would talk about a lot). Not everything new is engaging,
of course, but oftentimes blatantly "new" things—whether they're completely
revolutionary or just new to a particular listener—resonate really directly
with an emotion or idea that it can become new and fresh and a symbolic
shorthand for this idea. In this way, it becomes, for a short time, a really
powerful device. Of course, these symbols eventually become ingrained and stale
in music, or simply the object of the symbol becomes less relevant to people,
so it's unusable."
