Tyondai Braxton Interview

From NYTimes.com:

Before Tyondai Braxton, the experimental musician and composer, could complete his new album, “HIVE1,” he had to find himself in a machine. The project, which started as an installation and performance at the Guggenheim in 2013 before making its way to the Sydney Opera House, is built around a warped backbone of uneven percussion — thwacking woodblocks, bursts of pitter-pattering snares — but finds its voice, sans vocals, in the robotic moans and whirrs of a modular synthesizer.
