“It’s all about the ears and imagination and the process. It’s a thinking process, almost. Ideas come from various members, and then it’s survival of the fittest ideas. A lot of stuff is improvised, and then 6 months later you notice that an idea that happened there is still attached to the music.”
“What created part of the original sound of The Art of Noise were the limitations of the technology. The early sampler, The Fairlight, had like a 2 second sampling window and you put in a nice bright sound it and it came back all dull and horrible. That forced you to do interesting and creative things with it. It had a certain sound, and if you listen to those early Art Of Noise albums they have a certain sound and that is determined by the limitations of the technology. Once the technology ceases to have limits, it’s almost like having too much freedom. It’s difficult to work, really.”
