Interviews :: Michael Mayer @ RBMA Rome Session 2004 // James Holden @ Osaka, Japan
Two interviews well worth checking out.
Michael Mayer - Techno genius is Mayer indeed. His productions are as innovative as his sets, blending elements of acid house, disco and the new "minimal-wave". However, Mayer is true to its form. He still makes music for the leftist approach on dancefloors; Ambients and dubs that embrace the whole concept of his label KOMPAKT, based in Cologne, Germany.
note : You need Quicktime.

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.
The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
