"Richard and I became friends after meeting at Tonic in NY when he and Taylor Deupree did a show with
Carsten Nicolai. He contacted me about a possible collaboration and sent me a track which I thought was
very rich and harmonically similar to something I had recently been working on, a very swampy, dark piece
I was calling "The Garden of Brokenness" after a very beautiful new installation by James Elaine. I popped
it into pro tools with my piece and something really special was happening, so I spent a few weeks
weeding my track, trying different things...eventually I stripped it way down and we were both quite happy
with the result. Richard came up to NY and we fine tuned it a bit together and it was done. Since the piece
had changed quite a bit we decided not to use that title for this piece. He then sent me another one and
again, it just worked with something else I had been working on...the second track came together very
quickly, and there you have it! I love Richard's work...very elegant, like the man!" - William Basinski.
