Hi Richard, indeed he uses some computers, yet the sound is also pretty analog. Check out
this video where you can some SOME of the gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch

Cheers!


P.S. - of course that I don't want to make music like Alva Noto, but since I had to start
somewhere giving some examples he was one of the first names I remembered. I'm
looking for a synth to create ambiences, and create "not so common" sounds. I don't really
know if a modular is right for me...


Thanks!

an analogue modular could probably be coaxed to do something similar - especially the
logic modules - but is one damned expensive way to make such simple and basic, and
ultimately digital sounds...
