Robert Logan
I create electro-acoustic pieces, using a variety of synths, samplers and acoustic intruments. I don't attempt to make music in any specific genre, and I like insects.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was born, and I spat shards of concrete. They built me a studio, and ever since then I've done nothing except make a beautiful racket.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. I like everything about it except setting up, and the fact that wires try to strangle my left leg.
