I got into sound as an art form when I was studying sound engineering at S.I.T in Invercargill. It began with the concept of delay and the more gear I got, the more i got into it. I have done a couple of sound design projects and enjoy the avenue of sound design for theater. I don't see too much difference between creating original sounds via recording and sampling from existing sources. Actually I prefer a 50/50 blend.
Everything is happening and that is completely natural.
