SF - Surreal late night conversation with Autechre about dub, production techniques, and ice-cream. Slowly twirling around to Christian Kleine and Chris Clark at 4 am on New Year's... twinkling evenings with the Ambi-Sonic crew and friends.
NYC/Philadelphia - Mercurial nights with the Bravery, Adult., Fischerspooner's salon in Brooklyn, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Killers, Ellen Allien, Miss Kittin, Mum, Sixtoo, the Jagas, Sigur Ros, Stereo Total, Siouxsie, Bauhaus, and many more fabulous soirees out on the town...
Berlin - Dancing to German punk rock in anarchist squat parties in Kreuzberg; house parties with electro labelheads, grooving to Multiplex, Akufen and Sutekh... chemical tricks at Tresor, and running through the Tiergarten at night to vintage Aphex Twin :-)
Iceland - Hiking in Snaefellsness, listening to Ampop and Worm Is Green in the bright midnight hour; small clouds of frosty breath form as we scamper over enormous rock cliffs... far down below, waves crash and seagulls sound off distant calls.
Copenhagen - Taking the train home after a night out, listening to Tear Ceremony as we whizz along the coastline and the grey dawn breaks into a pinkish golden hue over the water. Sketching, drawing, and building models in the studio and out on field trips, swirling trax from Boards of Canada and Nentagaine informing the lines...
Paris - Ruby Brune's funky electroclash served up with a twist; minimal techno at Rex and bumping into French rap video shoot at the Palais de Tokio w/ LA homegurl Guzel. BoC's Geogaddi playing in my head at the birthplace of Gothic architecture (chapel at St. Denis), as I look up to feel sunshine streaming through medieval vitraux.
