From 5049 Records:
Mario Diaz de Leon is both a true master of dark electroacoustic composition and a dear friend. His music has had an incredibly deep impact on me and continues to be a great source of inspiration. For this talk, we trace his early roots, checking in with his death metal roots and his deep immersion into the world of writing for classical instruments.

From NYTimes.com:
The composer Annie Gosfield took inspiration from these eclectic sounds for “Signal Jamming and Random Interference,” for string quartet and electronics, which received its premiere at Roulette in Brooklyn on Sunday evening. Ms. Gosfield, whose imaginative works reflect her experience in the classical, rock and jazz worlds and blend acoustic and electronic elements to alluring effect, undertook research at the American Academy in Berlin, where she listened to World War II and Cold War recordings.
