Mr Scruff - Producer Masterclass from Mat on Vimeo . Brewmaster composes a song in a day, and lets you in for the entire session.
Andrew Bird makes it all look so easy. The orchestration, and creative awareness. The source of inspiration can take infinite forms, and for the Mr. Bird's new song he exclusively performs for TED, the everyday occurrence (especially for a sound wizard) of a noise loop triggers an investigation of other self-destructive loops and how they occur in biological, metaphysical, and creative instances. I find that relationships are the greatest source of inspiration for my work...I guess I'm not too far off from using self-destructive loops, either.

Four Tet - Love Cry so happy to hear this scot back in action. i wasn't a big fan of his collaboration with burial, which produced two tracks of dark, drawn out electronica think-pieces that felt like unpolished jams rather than works of attention care that X mr/ tet's back catalogue. i can feel carpet fur crawling up my socks, rubbing against my skin and leaving marks to remind me of dirty nights on the basement floor. its all about the groove, and the steady beat keeps your head moving through the intermittent explosions of [...]
