http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/interviews/keyb81.htmlYour music seems to rely pretty heavily on echo.
It really does. The important thing about using effects in connection with synthesizers is that they mess the sound
up a little bit. My problem with synthesizers has always been that the sound is done inorganic of itself that it
sticks out too much. It's far too obvious and high-definition in a track. So one of the main points of the echo unit
is not just for the sake of echo, but also to knock off a few of the high frequencies of the synthesizer, and
introduce some distortion as well. It's actually being used rather like a graphic equalizer. I do have two graphics
as well, which I use. Those I should have mentioned first, because they are really the most important. I can't
understand why nobody has built a synthesizer with a graphic built into it.
