I've long thought that the barrages of information produced by technology turn all our consciousness into a cut-up technique anyway, and like I said I'm big on worlds colliding. In grad school I used the digital switches in synthesizers to randomly cut between TV channels which had been recorded to multiple tracks with each track fed by a different program on at the same time. I must say TV becomes a lot more interesting when you do this. The resulting recording makes a good sound track to cut-up still images or movie stills rearranged randomly out of story order. It also makes a good fade-in for the more incoherent moments of punk rock songs.

When thinking about this kind of thing, you probably shouldn't ignore Tristan Tzara or Man Rey, either. I know I don't.
