You may be interested in these comments from an interview with Marc Leclair aka Akufen/Anna Kaufen in local TO weekly, NOW: "I sample hours of radio air waves every morning and dissect fractions of it to a point where samples aren't recognizable [...] Then I assemble all the bits, like a puzzle or a collage. My approach is inspired by the Surrealists' techniques and the French Canadian Automatistes like painter Jean-Paul Riopelle and writer Claude Gauvreau. I like the error margin and the unexpected factor, which creates something that makes a lot of sense subconsciously." My Way, his new album, is set to drop May 7 (in Canada).
