"I use these a lot to move digital audio into a room and then re-record. I moved the more digital pieces I was working out through the amps and hit them pretty hard, then re-record them with microphones and bring [the sound] back in. It’s this constant plasticity of taking sound and pushing it, and pushing it, analog to digital, digital to analog until it starts to take a weird uncanny specialness that’s different than what you started out with. That’s my general way of working."

"This is a vintage string synthesizer that I used a lot on this record. It’s a synthesizer that specifically plays string sounds and I would treat it a lot. It’s a big aspect of some of the pieces. The synth has this kind of weird creepy presence to it. It’s a strange, very simple synthesizer that is relatively cheap compared to a lot of vintage things. It has a very limited purpose. It’s not that flexible, but I love it."

Tim uses a Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer and a CDJ 2000 at the beginning of this lecture.
