"...It is the streams of desires that meet and produce machine complexities. Their
movements - linking, coupling, are defined through forces that repeatedly construct new
networks. The rhizome is such a labyrinth, a rich ensemble of relations; diversity,
connection and heterogeneity, breaks and unexpected links. They show the vision of a life
that opens the ways of production of subjectivity to art, and allows the horizon of
resistance to light up. The right to variety, the right to difference. Desire is an affirmative
energy, it functions in relating fields, it makes it's mechanical syntheses, - and don't worry,
it functions - writes Deleuze in 'Antioedipus', that Foucault later termed an introduction to
the non-fascist life. A construction of machines that is more than the world of technology,
an in-between world, a mediation without extremes, because the poles of that which is to
be mediated are again interlaced by lines; it is enlivened by the production subjectivity.
The machines themselves are interlaced by various currents and they don't function by
technologically defined precision ideals, but rather they continuously produce
unpredictable effects by multiplying themselves and creating interfaces for new currents.
Sound machines are also more than synthesisers, they represent more a kind of structure,
they are desire machines. They are created by linking heterogeneous elements and the
immersion in form changing transversality, the sound currents break open the customary
channels and bring the sound molecules to oscillation. A machine music that withdraws
from interpretation because no analytical thought and absolutely no memory pushes itself
between the music and the nervous system. Because electronic music makes the interfaces
an issue, the operationality of the technological music can be turned against itself."

"I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you
can´t imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that
you never expected to hear - that´s techno. If you hear something that
kind of sounds like you´ve heard it before, then it´s not techno."
-Jeff Mills
