Carl Craig & Kelvin Sholar
Here, two musical geniuses — Carl Craig, legendary Detroit techno producer, and visionary musician Kelvin Sholar, “one of the best musical artists in the world,” according to Artforum International’s Best 2009 issue — discussing their initial encounter and working together, going “outside of the box,” with Craig not playing notes, but playing frequencies. Kelvin talks about how Maschine makes it easy for him to start projects and keeping a smooth workflow (starting with a rhythmical pattern and laying, creating a group of sound).
