The early cut-ups supposedly came from Brion Gysin's influence. I saw 
the film "Towers Open Fire" in 1969 and read a couple of WSB's books 
then. At that same time I was studying film making. Burroughs was a 
HUGE influence on me, and I started using techniques of cut-up, 
layering, and looping as part of my films.
