So did Terry Riley and a few other people, I think.

It just happened I had two tape recorders for a while, so I could try this out.

And then I could build up these huge

sort of orchestras of music live on my own.

So I think that became an obsession to try to make a a recorded music that somehow changed every time.

I finally achieved it in the nineteen nineties and I'm still doing it now.

The conception of an architect is somebody who thinks about an end result in great detail.

You know, the archetype is Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed everything down to the teaspoons in his houses.

And so the whole thing kind of pre-exists in the architect's mind and then is brought into being by builders.

What a gardener does is put some seeds in the soil.

And then watch us how they develop.

Oh, these ones over here are doing better than those ones over there.

So next year I'll plant them differently.

But you know that if you're making a garden,

You're only starting something.

So one of Stuart Brand's books, it's called How Buildings Learn.

It's a great book.

And in that he says, you never finish a building, you only start it.

And I think that's what I kind of mean by generative music.
