There is a difference between artificially built music & true symbiosis. A quality that goes beyond mutual respect. Beyond the real or the symbolic. Instantaneously programmatic. True co-operation between all involved. Possibly the true meaning of melting pot. How the stew works. All the different ingredients blending together yet each ingredient, each flavor able to be grasped, sampled, tasted… Steve Dalachinsky
