Here's an interesting interview with Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet, in my opinion the most exciting producer around. Along with his excellent new album releases (the latest and greatest being Rounds), he produces countless remixes (I have 2 entire CDRs full of them). He's just handed in a Radiohead remix, which I await with baited breath.

I've just started recording bunches of cello improvisations into the computer, and I've been writing some contemplative piano pieces and rhythms. Given that, I was very inspired by what he has to say about the computer being his instrument, and the methods he used to write the tracks on Rounds. I feel like I'm on just that wavelength at the moment. Before going skiing next week I hope to get a whole lot more stuff recorded onto the hard drive, and then work up some heavily processed and chopped up pieces in AudioMulch and Acid.
Great to read that Hebden's a big fan of Mulch too!
