Laptop music will never be the same! About the CD collaboration by Alvin Curran and Domenico Scianjno (hey, they got an honorable mention at Ars Electronica), Alvin says, "He and I met by pure chance at an international conference of sound smugglers organized by the Palermo "cupola", held annually in a remote seaside hotel outside of the Hague in the Netherlands. At the time, he was a contrabassista.....whose job was to look out for the cops, when the others went into action - stealing sounds from ports, train stations, markets, landscapes, banks and even people. This is as close to the truth, as the avantgarde is to the Marx Brothers."
