This info is stale, but....  He and I toyed with a collaborative effort
once, and I saw him perform in NYC a few years ago.  Things may have
changed, but at that time his setup was strictly ultra lo-tech, lotsa cheap
boxes and massively overdriven amps, power tools, etc.  I would really be
surprised to hear that he's now using sophisticated stuff like "sampling".
Anyone know otherwise?
