No. I think the development is going in the opposite direction because everyone is making tracks in programs like Ableton, which has an OK sound engine. When I started making music 20 years ago, you had to at least buy a mixer, then some synthesizers, a drum machine—which is the best quality possible of a sampled drum. There was a pureness of the source of the music. It was analog, direct. Now you have millions of sources, millions of programs and especially these few programs like Reaktor or Ableton that are complete. They have all of these virtual instruments that are calculated by a computer, and you have a certain space where you have to put everything. And when you want to leave this space, you have to live with compromises, the compromises of digital mixes and recordings. Everyone at the moment is thinking these are good things. Especially at the moment with labels disappearing and all of the people that once helped decide whether a record is coming out or not not—the label manager, the friend of the label, the designer—are going away. People are finding it easy to publish something without any controls. And this is the problem with the internet in general. There is so much information, and no one knows if it’s true or not. It’s just there. It’s an information monster.

In 1969 Fidel Castro commissioned artist Olivio Martinez to create a series of 10 billboards to commemorate an initiative to raise sugar production to 10,000,000 tons a year. Each month a new billboard would go up. The residents in the area would bring chairs and sit in front of the billboard as they went up. Like most things in Cuba the project never reached it’s completion - they only got to 6,000,000 - but lucky for us Olivio had completed the artwork for all 10.
