Great clip offered up by Iain at Crack Unit. Derrick May talks about how he produced seminal techno track, Strings of Life.
A combination of experimentation and making mistakes, intensively living with an idea and letting it brew rather than rushing on, and not being scared when you're breaking all the rules of what people expect
(interesting this last one - lots of people talk about wanting to break the rules, but all they really do is play with the conventions. That's because really tearing up the rule book freaks people out...me included!...and you've got to be brave to do it. But the results are there to see).
Anyway, good lessons to learn.
