b-b-but then it won't get 'better'!
moore's law was largely an invention of the microelectronics industry to
justify and 'naturalise' the industry practise of built-in obsolesence.
over time it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. it is idiotic.
my friend Warwick makes electro-blues with a commodore 64.

that's not the way i make music :-)
picture up to 5 sends, each sending to each other with variable amounts,
with upwards of 5 (sometimes 10) effect units on each send == lovely
lovely lovely feedback loops. especially with Live's digital clipping
(it sounds nicer than other kinds). for a while my live performance

until i got bored, repeat. mainly because i could :-) aah digital...
