Sounds improvised on the bass are used in the construction of the final pieces. The degree of cutting up and processing applied to the improvisations varies from piece to piece, but the compositional decisions made during the final edit always take precedence over the “live” element: “When cutting the prayer call in with hog grunts it doesn’t pay to be walking around the market place with a portable tape recorder.” (William S. Burroughs, Electronic Revolution)
