I’m from Japan and I love his music and also another Aussie Ben Frost.

I just moved to LA when Loop was in town. I wish I had the right mind to purchase tickets well in advance. This was a great presentation on the philosophy of listening. He's a great sound artist as well.

I think there's a noise gate or expander cutting out sounds when he asks you to listen and stops talking.

[@VCVRackIdeas]

he is a great drone artist

Super important! Thanks for your great work and this very articulated and anthropo-poetic presentation. It's funny cause i listen to your work and by hasard i thought yesterday about David Dunn. Ok, thanks again and take care, Martin Leduc

I notice this as a photographer also, where the 2d image loses what struck me about the scene, and learning how to evoke that rather than some idea of realism. Working closer is often the case. I am also struck by the Aristotelian notion that the being in a theater audience is a participatory act. I found the demonstration here a great way to notice how my attention moved.

Scale highlighters in Ableton piano-roll would be so useful, would you ever think of adding it?

To achieve what he is asking I believe you would have to have your brain connected to a form of technology that would allow the device to focus as you focus your ear

The over intellectualization of one’s own creative process

[@alaeifR]

it's called art school and it's expensive as heck

[@coleblouin2645]

@@alaeifR it's worth pointing out that his first degree was actually in business and I think his thing is pretty self-sustaining, financially, so idk about that lol
