“I feel overawed by quantity where counting no longer makes sense. By unrepeatability within such a quantity. By creatures of nature gathered in herds, droves, species, in which each individual, while subservient to the mass, retains some distinguishing features. A crowd of people, birds, insects, or leaves is a mysterious assemblage of variants of certain prototype. A riddle of nature's abhorrence of exact repetition or inability to produce it. Just as the human hand cannot repeat its own gesture, I invoke this disturbing law, switching my own immobile herds into that rhythm.” PeopleFeelsHumansHandsLawCertainIndividualMy OwnProduceCreaturesMassBirdSpeciesCrowdsMysteriousRhythmMake SenseFeaturesRepeatsQuantityGesturesRepetitionInsectsInabilityDisturbingCountingHerdsRiddleInvokeSubservientSwitchingPrototypeAbhorrenceHuman HandsAssemblage Author:Magdalena Abakanowicz

“I started playing guitar at the age of 8 or 9 years. Very early, and I was like already into pop music and was just trying to copy what I heard on the radio. And at a very early age I started experimenting with old tape recorders from my parents. I was 11 or 12 at that time and then when I was like 14 or 15 I had a punk band. I made all the classic rock musician's evolutions and then in the early nineties I bought my first sampler and that is how I got into electronic music, because I was able to produce it on my own.
