Instead of buying myself another useless modern cassette recorder I bought a 1991 Denon DRW-850 dual tape deck, now I can fullfill my lifelong dream of making my own tapes in style, its connected to my #eurorack modules so I can go fully non-computer now, don’t get me wrong I love computers, but sometimes I need to step away from seeing the world on a flat screen only

Sorry to keep going on about it but the strange thing about this dorky manifesto ( https://slab.org/2015/07/28/the-generative-manifesto-august-2000/ ) is that it now reads like a live coding manifesto, but afaik live coding didn't exist as an independent idea or community then, we certainly weren't aware of it. We were just listening to a lot of Autechre and Farmers Manual etc. Unknown to us @julian was writing the 'just in time' library for supercollider, and we had advertised writing perl code live to make music (http://www.ntk.net/2000/06/16/?l=120#l) but hadn't actually got around to doing it. This also dorky essay I wrote in 2001 doesn't mention liveness at all https://www.dmu.ac.uk/documents/technology-documents/research/mtirc/nowalls/mww-mclean.pdf

So we somehow felt it was super important as musicians to (1) explore generative processes (2) work live (3) improvise (4) share what we're doing and (5) write our own code.. But no sense at all that it was important to do all this at once and code live in front of an audience. Looking back now it's hard to imagine the state of mind we were in. Pretty strange really...
