Interviewer " Interesting title Tom, 'Music is Rotted One Note" sounds like a Shakespearian quote?" Tom - "What it relates to is a conversation I had with Sean from Autechre (which by the way, he pronounced Au teck er !), where basically I was expressing the fact that I kind of was a really big fan of yoghourt and cheese and stuff but really didn't like milk and Sean made the comparison of music being a "rotted" form of a single tone, or one note as it were ... I like the music but not the one note ... and cheese but not the milk ..." So there you have it folks, the mystery revealed ... and I knew that Tom's a veggie but obviously not a vegan! aless
