I'd really like to see a non-rude, non-confrontational yet honest question that goes something like this: "Ms. Mori, don't you feel that it's misleading to mask all of your musical endeavors with faux-highrbow language? You've simply used drum machines and samplers, and more recently MAX MSP, to make music- and yet, you insist on using lines like 'I extrapolate binary systems of sonic fragments to further explore the multiethnic diaspora', when in reality it would be more correct to say 'I bash buttons and make interesting beats." This isn't to accuse or to be hostile- i'm a huge fan of Mori's work- but I feel that her approach to explaining what she does is symptomatic of a real epidemic of faux-highbrow posturing in the modern improv world. If DJ Shadow's comfortable accounting for his genius with "I just bash the buttons on my sampler until it sounds dope", then surely someone like Mori (working in the same fashion) should be comfortable doing the same, without having to "talk herself up." love, andrew
