Carl Craig's Revolutionary Art: The Echoes Interview
On the next Echoes, a giant of techno music, Carl Craig. His music burst through all the stereotypes of techno to create a more symphonic sound, and he’s even had his music played with a symphony. Under many names, he’s been releasing solo music and remixing everyone from Tori Amos to Manuel Göttsching to Depeche Mode. A documentary, Desire: The Carl Craig Story was screened in June at the Tribeca Film Festival. I had my own conversation with Carl, talking about everything from the Sound Gizmo to the sound of Detroit Techno.
Carl Craig: We were not trying to make something that sounded like electronic versions of music that was made with instruments. We were really trying to create new soundscapes.
