Carl Craig: IDOW Extended Interview #4 (Modular Pursuits)

In April 2012, the I Dream of Wires team met with legendary Detroit techno producer Carl Craig, to discuss his electronic music influences and production experiences, including his recent interest in eurorack modular synthesis. Craig's experiments in modular synthesis are best heard on 2010's "Modular Pursuits" 12-inch, released under his No Boundaries alias.

Love the opening on Detroit with those pads, deep melancolia.
Finding the balance between sound creativity and music creativity, that's said !
I guess you could get caught experimenting for days without eating or sleeping witch such pieces of gear.
